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.

YELLOW-BELLIED JUDGE CAVES TO COUNTY. "Court Upholds LA County Ban on MacArthur's Church Services...Pastor MacArthur called the ruling "inexplicable."

"The judge said the 'scale tipped in favor of the county.' 1/100th of 1% of Californians with a virus apparently wins over the U.S. Constitution and religious freedom for all? That is not what our founders said," the pastor said. "Nor is that what God says, who gave us our rights that our government—including the judicial branch—is supposed to protect. The scale should always tip in favor of liberty, especially for churches."

  "Louisiana church packed for services again despite charges against pastor amid pandemic - "We're still here and still assembling and having church," Spell said. Asked why he was defying the governor's orders, he said, "Because the Lord told us to."

Asked whether he was concerned about the pandemic, Spell said: "I'm no more concerned than I would be going to Walmart or Home Depot.""
