It would be one thing to visit other churches out of interest (and preferably churches in communion with Rome), but going to visit all sorts of churches every Sunday is dangerous and just plain weird.
 
That’s cool. Just avoid the protestant and schismatic churches.

If you read the whole article you will find that they are going to Protestant churches.

From the article:
At another black church, St. Thomas Aquinas at 5112 W. Washington (now St. Martin de Porres), “They had a great choir,” Scriba said. "Oh, we sang and danced along.

“We don’t know anyone there,” she added with a twinkle, “so we can do what we want.”

A few years ago they went to a Latin mass at St. John Cantius, 825 N. Carpenter. “They were in dresses, like the 1960s. The men had suitcoats and ties,” Coyne said.

They’ve enjoyed Tiffany windows at Second Presbyterian, 1936 S. Michigan; the William Ferris Chorale at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 708 W. Belmont; and Louis Sullivan’s Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral at 1121 North Leavitt.

Was the dancing Liturgical dancing? That’s the impression I get. I’ll admit, for their sake, that does bother me. Also, note they did attend a Protestant (Presbyterian) church. The question I’m curious about is are these ladies attending these churches, Protestant ones, in addition to going to Mass?

Nah, it looks like they just attended a Charismatic Mass where that sort of behavior is the norm. A local predominately African American Catholic Church near me has a Gospel mass where the same sort of thing goes on.

Please go back and read the article. It specifically says they attended a Presbyterian church. Presbyterian churches are not Catholic. So yes, they are attending Protestant churches.

Sorry, I was specifically referencing one of the points that you emboldened for emphasis in your prior post.
At another black church, St. Thomas Aquinas at 5112 W. Washington (now St. Martin de Porres), “They had a great choir,” Scriba said. "Oh, we sang and danced along.

You then wondered if it was Liturgical Dancing. I’m saying that it was probably just a Charismatic Mass they attended in that instance. Wasn’t talking about the rest of the article.

Notice also the comment about the Tiffany windows in the Second Presbyterian Church. You can actually see them on the Web if you Google/map the address and choose street view. In fact, there are a lot of beautiful churches of all denominations in the Chicago area. These young ladies still have a lot of places they can go. (Yes, I said young; you are only as old as you feel and these two ladies clearly do not endorse the standard view of age.)
 
Hopefully they are meeting their Sunday Obligation while they are hopping around.
