Nice church building but I actually liked the old church better -felt more normal. This one has more of that wealthy appeal to it I suppose. There's some occasional good stuff here but every now and then you'll meet some snobbery and then you also have the neurotics here.
One lady at daily mass always says the same thing asking for prayer for the "Woodward and Bernstein family" I mean she's been doing this for years- it's a little weird and even selfish if you're just praying for your own family or whoever the two families are- doesn't seem like it's a special emergency request anymore if it's been going on for years.
And when she says Woodward and Bernstein I think of the Washington Post Watergate thing -what does that have to do with 2021 unless there's another coincidental two families of the same name in the area with special prayer needs - but this has been going on for years. Or is this some kind of joke? Or is she mentally ill ?
And that's one of the problems with the Catholic Church - it has a tendency to invite neurotics and people with obsessive compulsive personalities and instead of helping them overcome those problems, they actually nurture them - turning daily mass into a daily ritual - the most robotic person wins.
Being a robot is NOT a good thing -it's dysfunctional. What would Jesus do? Maybe daily Mass is NOT a good thing - maybe it needs to be a little less often .
