[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy Trinity in Georgetown.  [/quote]

The Jesuits and sermons are great but attending mass here feels like attending mass with a bunch of people at their country club.  [/quote]

Agreed.  They are all too good to interact with the normal folks who in their actual parish so they drive to Georgetown.[/quote]

Sorry we aren’t interested in the anti-gay and anti-abortion rhetoric that we were subjected to at mass at our Nova Church.

Also, RE at HT is head and shoulders better run than the 3 other churches we tried (and St Matthews had no RE). [/quote]

Uh huh.  Well better to ensconce yourself in your bubble than try to actually understand your neighbors.[/quote]

Oh please.  I interact plenty with my neighbors but almost none of them will attend the church that is literally a mile from my house because the pastor is still, unfriendly, and gives a variation on the same homily every week.  The people driving the anti-abortion rhetoric are him and a half dozen old ladies (not clear where they live but I’ve never seen them in the neighborhood). The seats are mostly empty at mass and families just use it as a convenient place for CCD.  It’s parishes like this that are killing the Church, in Europe and South America as well as the US.  I’ve been going pretty faithfull for 15 years and I just need someplace that is actually going to make me feel closer to God, not farther from Him.  [/quote]

And Georgetown is the closest acceptable alternative parish?  Give me a break.  You’re a social climber.[/quote]
