The parish where I was confirmed, received first Holy Eucharist, and said my first confession is a liberal parish. They don't do anything right.
For one thing, not only does the church look more like a gym than a church, it's turned around sideways. People stop by mistaking it for the school down the street.
Our liturgies are sloppy. We've got an army of Eucharistic 'ministers' most of whom demonstrate a slim grasp of the mystery they are encountering.
The Holy Week liturgies for the past four years have been a travesty.
One of my pastors never preaches on sin, but love, love, love. I can't stand it!
The other pastor is always preaching on the rights of immigrants. He's a liberal activist. No wonder people are abandoning the pews!
Out of the three masses each weekend, two are guitar masses. Sweet and folksy, but terribly distracting.
I was cheated out of my first confession. "Oh, we'd never give that to you as your first sacrament", I was told.
Both our pastors openly advocate for women priests.
They're seems to be a large number of 'irregular' relationships.
To their credit, the charity coming out of this parish is commendable. I haven't seen or experienced anything like it. In spite of their lack of orthodoxy, I really love my pastors and the people of my parish. I don't it's a mistake that this where God put me for my first Catholic community.
