Soon, carpenters will refit the church's modern, wooden altar with casters so it can be wheeled away for the weekly Tridentine mass, providing worshippers with a clear view of the high altar
Together with offensive and ageist comments by Fr Thomas Reese. Its him that's living in the past.
He should join the traditional Catholic pilgrimages Paris/ Chartres each year. The vast majority of priests are under 35 leading the 18,000 faithful whose average age is about 30.
Not the first and by no means the last Church that will be saved by the Latin Mass, under whose spiritual shelter 99.9% of Catholics living and dead have been nurtured over 2000 years. Maybe 99.99%.

'Sell-off' church to spend 600,000 pounds
Sell churches, buy a new home for Diocesan bureaucrats!
The Diocese claims:
"The purpose of the changes is to ensure that the parishes in the diocese are vibrant communities that enable us to be people of prayer, still proclaiming the Gospel message."
And the list of Churches being sold to buy offices, a training centre, a café and a multi-storey car park. I think it is called losing the plot. If a company constructed a new headquarters and sold all its branches, the share price would nose-dive.
