Informal SJC rulebook

Ma Beck has an amusing list of hints for people attending St John Cantius Church in Chicago.

Example:
2) No, we don't shake hands. Or kiss. Or high-five. We just move on to the Agnus Dei.
I've just got to find an opportunity to go and visit this parish...

ha! I love that! I always feel very awkward at the 'Sign of Peace' rather preffering to just kneel and get on with preparing myself for Holy Communion.

Father,
You must.
We can hit both basilicas and public Liturgy of the Hours and a Sox game, too.

As it happens, I live in the Chicagoland area. It's been some time since I've been to SJC, but I have to say I found the liturgy there wooden, VERY wooden. Something has been lost in the decades long dis-use of the Tridentine Mass, for I remember my fondness for it and the devotion it kindled in me. I don't know how else to put it, but when I've assisted at Tridentine Masses over the past few years, my impression is of correctly programmed robots going through the motions. What is worse, these robots are very pleased with their own correctness. Something is missing, but what?
