Review of St Paul Apostle ⛪ Westwood L.A. 12/26/21
I'd give it more stars π if they could do something about the homeless unbeliever who hangs out during mass. I would welcome an unbeliever for sure if they're not a jerk but if they're going to be a jerk and I mean they use the mass for their own self-serving purposes having nothing to do with believing in Jesus Christ.
This guy is a real jerk. He hangs out by the door and glares at you if he doesn't approve of you to such an extent that I WON'T go there anymore IF he's there. So I'll stop in every year and see if he's still there and IF he is I wait another year. He is definitely an unbeliever but the priests allow him to be the boss in the back π.
This time I've been gone for two years because of covid and I just came back again today 12/26/21 & he actually saw me coming and stood in front of the door like he was the bouncer or something. So I did an about-face and walked back to my car and drove off. I'll go to St Martin of Tours ⛪ instead. & I can assure you I'm not the only one he drives away.

Review of OLQA church Newport Beach CA 12/18/21
Nice church building but I actually liked the old church better -felt more normal. This one has more of that wealthy appeal to it I suppose. There's some occasional good stuff here but every now and then you'll meet some snobbery and then you also have the neurotics here.
One lady at daily mass always says the same thing asking for prayer for the "Woodward and Bernstein family" I mean she's been doing this for years- it's a little weird and even selfish if you're just praying for your own family or whoever the two families are- doesn't seem like it's a special emergency request anymore if it's been going on for years.
And when she says Woodward and Bernstein I think of the Washington Post Watergate thing -what does that have to do with 2021 unless there's another coincidental two families of the same name in the area with special prayer needs - but this has been going on for years. Or is this some kind of joke? Or is she mentally ill ?
And that's one of the problems with the Catholic Church - it has a tendency to invite neurotics and people with obsessive compulsive personalities and instead of helping them overcome those problems, they actually nurture them - turning daily mass into a daily ritual - the most robotic person wins.
Being a robot is NOT a good thing -it's dysfunctional. What would Jesus do? Maybe daily Mass is NOT a good thing - maybe it needs to be a little less often .

Nov 2021, Review of Borromeo Church, North Hollywood
This church used to be thriving but once covid arrived the management showed their true colors: cowardly & paranoid & ignorant (or just wanting an excuse to close the doors).
They tried drive-thru church (Sunday only) & required masks on in the car with windows shut. They were SO IGNORANT about the real science & bowed down to whatever LA county demanded.
Meanwhile a protestant church with some backbone down the road (grace community led by pastor MacArthur) took a stand and WON - NO lockdown -no masks- no paranoia -no covid .
Now in November of 2021 Borromeo has resumed daily mass indoors but you must enter & exit thru 1 small gate & if you need to leave early you must ask them to unlock the door. Yes - they lock you in. Doors shut DON't allow fresh air to circulate. And It's sad inside. The priests don't seem to really want to be there.

Review re Church of the Good Shepherd, Beverly Hills (Nov 2021)
Unfortunately this church has become inhabited by leftist activists posing as Catholic. Even the lead priest Beniof leans left - I think he's actually the one inviting these radicals into the church.
The older priest Colm is a good guy - he's a traditional conservative. I've been coming here for many years and now I'll step in and there'll be somebody I've never seen before and they treat me ππ€ π₯ππ πππ¨ ππ¦πͺ - it's ridiculous. They've infiltrated the church for their own self-serving purposes π

Re San Carlos Cathedral, Monterey CA
The church building is historic π. The priests good. But there's a few local yokels who are using the church like it's their club. If they don't know you, they WON'T even greet you. It's rather dehumanizing π. This is a problem in some Catholic Churches where people DON'T have sincere commitment to the doctrines of the church nor sincere conviction to the faith they pretend to practice. And it explains why there are so-called anti-Life Catholics -cuz they're NOT real Catholics .

Re St James Cathedral ⛪Seattle & Archbishop Etienne
Great church ⛪, but i am disappointed with archbishop Etienne 's recent pronouncement re communion basically without any standards π- even if you're in favor of abortion - even if you are in a position of political power & take steps to support abortion rather than preserve life -Etienne says you can STILL receive communion because it's "about grace".
But these are NOT people apologetic nor repentant about abortion - they are NOT in a state of grace - they're NOT even asking for grace at the communion table - they are arrogantly in defiance of God & the catholic church position on abortion. Just like going to hell π₯- the only reason you end up there is if you DON'T want to go to heaven . God grants you your choice. It's that simple.
Etienne is either obtuse or corrupt himself - neither of which is tolerable at such a high position .

Re 'homeless' begging at church exit
I Like this church ⛪ but as i was leaving there was an ethnic couple with a child standing by the exit holding a sign asking for help.
This is NOT the first time I've experienced this at a Catholic Church (elsewhere). It seems like there's a few people who specifically know exactly what time people will be leaving and they target churchgoers either to guilt them or if you give them something they give you God's blessing as if they are actually superior to you which is an odd feeling:
As you're helping them, they're actually acting condescending toward you as if for some reason you're just some schmuck going to church and they're some sort of sophisticated 'survivor' who is closer to God than you -which makes me angry actually - and it also leaves me feeling like these people are scamming me for a handout or some kind of psychological manipulation rather than actually being really needy.
I handed them two cans of food that I carry for homeless people but once again I didn't feel like I was giving it to somebody who was really so needy but was actually quite savvy π.
Like they decided to go stand by the Catholic church and see if these church people are really very generous or not. and my question is ARE U REALLY NEEDY OR NOT ? If not, you are SCAMMING people .

Re Spirit of Social Distancing
So a church ⛪i attended recently was doing everything they can of course to try be in compliance with health and safety & sanitization re covid-19 prevention π, but one thing they're doing that seems to be contrary is funneling everybody through one side door .
I can see why in the beginning as we're coming in it might be easier to have everybody go thru one door πͺbut even at the end of the service everything remained blocked off. IN fact I started trying to exit towards the back and there were two guys standing there - one who acted like he was about to tackle me if I tried to go out that way .
But it seemed to me it would be more in the spirit of social distancing to allow people to exit in various different ways depending on which way they're going. WHY make everybody funnel out the same door and get close to each other unnecessarily ?
By the way it also is a reminder that when you give a volunteer a job at church sometimes they become zealots & take it too seriously . just chill out guys .
Re Spirit of the Law
The priest or deacon at St Ignatius in SF missed a perfect opportunity to talk about the spirit of the law but instead he apologized for committing a minor traffic infraction and said he should have known better. He was talking about driving thru the city and he was at a red light and there was absolutely nobody around & he was running late for something important and decided to turn right on red even though the sign said no right turn on red.
And suddenly he saw the police lights behind him and received a citation. I thought he was going to going to start talking about the spirit of the law of turning right on red - usually if there's a sign that says no turn on red in certain situations it's at unpredictable & more dangerous intersections, but since he had clearly looked every single way and done everything properly it was okay in this situation because the spirit of the law would justify it (which is related to public policy , which is supposed to be behind every law as every law student knows).
Instead he took the opportunity to apologize publicly to the church & self-chastize & say he shouldn't have done it. Basically he was making a case for being legalistic - the exact opposite of what Jesus was trying to teach to the Pharisees and Sadducees back in the day.
It was a bit bizarre to hear this from a man of the cloth which is why I wonder maybe this was a deacon rather than a priest (a little less educated) but even sometimes the most educated make such a mistake .
Anyways let me use this as an opportunity to let people know that there is the spirit of the law behind Biblical law as well as today's man-made laws ( called public policy ) or supposed to be and when police violate the public policy of the law (ie the intended purpose) you can challenge them in court .
Now in the case of minor traffic infractions you probably won't win simply because judges too often "rubber stamp" everything, but we should keep in mind that there is a spirit of the law . Like if you're driving in the middle of the night and you come to an intersection and it's a really long red & no traffic whatsoever- the spirit of law would say you CAN go through it (after stopping and carefully looking both ways to make sure it's clear)even if the letter of the law would say you must wait until it turns green. Comprende ?
