To illegal Latin mass today, where reverence was palpable, vs. happy-go-lucky mainstream Catholic service, starring priest as Jay Leno, full of smiles because we're happy to be alive! This one was all business. People came to pray not play, not to meet and greet except after mass, when there was lots of that.

Low mass, 7:30 Sunday, ex-Presbyterian church (converted by hammer and nail) 2/3 full, families and others. One server, a young man, priest with back to us, all of us looking towards God.
