I’m going to Orlando in two weeks (against my will) and need to find a place to hear Mass. Since the school group I’m chaperoning will be staying in (in, I say) the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH I thought there might be a weekly Mass on the property, but the Diocese no longer has a Mass for tourists.
I’m considering Mary, Queen of the Universe Shrine, which developed as a church for tourists, as well as St. Nicholas Byzantine because I wouldn’t anticipate liturgical shenanigans there.
Can anyone recommend a church close to the Black Hole o’ Disney?

I play better after a few, too.
“The village police chief was surprised when he woke up in the middle of the night to find a man inside his home playing Beethoven on the piano…[the man] was drunk and looking for a friend’s house when he mistakenly wandered into the wrong place early Monday. […]The chief added that [the man] played perfect Beethoven.”

Wonder if he’ll be reelected?
A school board member in Fairfax County, Virginia, has made a stir by asking for equal time for his agenda, namely, to promote the idea that homosexuality isn’t the pinnacle of human existence.
[…]Hunt said students often are exposed to the “Will and Grace version of homosexuality.” He contended in the letter that gays often suffer drug and alcohol abuse or physical abuse and that gay men don’t live as long as heterosexual counterparts. “There are huge ramifications for people who may make a choice to go into that lifestyle, and we should make sure they are fully aware of the entire issue[.]”

Out in force?
Consider the following from this site:
WHAT: A prayer vigil to call attention to a
growing atmosphere of homophobia in the Catholic Church.
WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 9, 8-9:30am & 3:30-5pm.
WHERE: Chancery of the Arlington Diocese at 200 N. Glebe Rd., Arlington, Va.
WHO: Soulforce DC and other supportive groups and people of faith who are concerned about the fundamentalist drift of the Catholic Church.
WHY: The Arlington Diocese has not responded to 3 recent letters from Soulforce DC expressing our concern about the tone and
content of recent statements and documents from the Catholic Church concerning gays and lesbians. They have ignored our requests
for dialogue to begin the process of reconciliation and healing. We vigil to let
the victims of homophobia know that they are not alone and to give them hope for a more just and loving world.
Did it happen?

Agh!
These are available from a company with which I had to transact business (we had to outfit a Don-Jose-goes-into-the-mountains drum major). Having never actually seen L.D., I thought the movement had given up the ghost, but apparently it’s alive and well somewhere. I find it intersting that most of the items for sale seem to be made of polyester. I also find it interesting that I didn’t see a model who could have been alive when all this craziness began.
My favorite quotes:
Your dancing is a form of praise and you should look your very best!
A liturgical basic that meets so many of your performance needs!
