Some things on the list are liturgical abuses, some are suggestions, he should differentiate the two. All are not equal.

You don't have kneelers? You stand the whole Mass?

Except, one of my favorite priests just left. :sadder: Why does the bishop always have to take away my favorites?????? :angry:

I give us half credit for number three . . . the tabernacle's sort of to the side . . . Our last pastor wanted to move it to the center, but the bishop wouldn't let us. :(

As for number ten . . . I don't think we have a latin mass . . . we have a mass in spanish though! :P

Number twelve . . . meh. I'm not thrilled by our music. But I guess it could be worse.

I still :wub: my parish!

My parish meets up to all of those except Latin, proper liturgical music, and an active pro-life ministry. We are sending a bus to the March, though!

Yeah, same here. The Gospel is sometimes read by a parishioner.

And I'd give us half-credit on number 10, as there is Latin sometimes. But I haven't been there too long.

We have a good parish :)

Who made this list and should we really be measuring a parish to it? I have serious reservations that if some of those numbers don't apply it makes the Church unfaithful.
