I think you should remove the priest’s name because by naming him, you are possibly identifying the parish and the woman you are badmouthing as well.

TrueLight,

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll consider it. You may or may not know that the name Nguyen is rather ubiquitous among the Vietnamese people. Since our Pastor retired, we’ve had a string of “Pastoral Administrators” and interestingly enough more than one Priest named Nguyen. What’s more, this Priest is no longer at my Parish.

I will indeed think about your insight. Thank you.

A priest named Nguyen in Fountain Valley, CA … say it ain’t so! 😉

I went to a few semesters at Coastline Community’s campus there, aka Little Vietnam.
I don’t know which smelled worse, the things we dissected or the random fish dishes brought into the student lounge. lol.

I live in Fountain Valley, but I attend a Parish in Huntington Beach. And I believe the term is “Little Saigon.” That being said, I believe we Catholics in the United States of America owe a debt of gratitude to the Vietnamese people. In my observation they are bearing much fruit in God’s vineyard and producing many vocations for Holy Mother Church.

Sometimes food we are not accustomed to can me smelly, yes. But so what? There are many Vietnamese people here in the United States because they are escaping the tyranny of the government in Vietnam. There is no free republic of South Vietnam because of the Democrats in Congress back then. This video from Prager University explains. It is entitled "How the Vietnam War Was Won and Lost"

Hey, it smells like rotten fish and garbage, but it somehow tastes delicious. Go figure. It’s just that fish sauce. It’s awful on the nose.

Yeah, one of my professors, Dr. (guess;) ), was a virulent anti-Communist. He was a great guy to talk to. He basically let you steer your own progress. He presented the info, gave you the lesson, and didn’t want to hear from you unless you didn’t get it. The A was always yours to lose. I dug that. Most of our class was some ethnic variety of Asian, mostly Vietnamese. We actually had an exchange student FROM Vietnam. Poor girl was so lost in the sauce with the language barrier, but somehow she made it through the course. Despite the total itch to do so, I never asked her what her opinion on communism was. I figured it would be much less typically “imperial-yankee-capitalist-scum!” to just be friendly and confuse the heck out of her in case she was in fact a dirty Red. 😃
 
I’ve only been to one EF Mass, a Low Mass.

Honestly, I was pretty prepared for it from going to a couple of OF Latin Masses. If there are any available in your area, I would suggest trying one of those out. It’s a great way to “transition” from English OF, to Latin OF, to Latin EF!

Unfortunately, I don’t think Latin OF Masses are very common.

anp,

Well said. That’s how I “transitioned” to the EF. I support what you said 100% 👍
 
I must comment on “faithless Oregon”. For several summers in a row, my (California) family and I vacationed in Oregon. We attended Sunday Mass in several cities and daily Mass in two cities. We have never been more welcomed as visitors anywhere in Catholic churches. We were greeted sincerely (not in that awkward “Would all visitors please stand up so that we can give you a gift” sort of way.) We found all of the Masses (maybe 10 in all?) to be reverently celebrated. While the music was mainstream mediocre Catholic stuff, there were no glaring liturgical abuses, etc. Maybe we just got lucky, but we experienced this from Bend to Eugene, suburbs of Portland to Seaside and Newport on the coast. It is great to hear that your town is trying to make the TLM more available.
