TLM Communities and Google Maps
So I don't want to start any new non-fiction big medievalist books before I leave town tomorrow. And I was a little bored last night. And I'd been wanting to play with Google's personal mapping functions. And I've spent WAY too much time reading What Does The Prayer Really Say and The New Liturgical Movement and such lately.
So here you go -
1. residences and rectories of
2. groups, orders, etc., who are
3. in union with the Pope of Rome and
4. say Mass primarily with the Missal of Bl. John XXIII
So far I've got the:
FSSP in blue
ICKSP (link not safe for work if you dwell in chant-averse lands) in purpleish pink - I wanted purple for obvious reasons but Google doesn't get that far up the color scale
CRSJC in yellow
2 disclaimers -
1. Not mass locations, residences. I'm more interested in community dispersion or concentration than I am in individual masses. I'm an historian, not a devoté here. I'm depending on the public information on their websites and sometimes there are ambiguities. For instance, the Institute of Christ the King has at least 2 oratories in the Bay Area, but there really only seems to be one priest (going by the bulletins online). Not that you can tell without compulsively reading that kind of thing.
2. I am not, myself, all that interested in the Extraordinary Form. I'm happy with a well-ordered and reverent Missal of Paul VI mass - the Reform of the Reform is just fine with me. I was very happy with the Oratory in Rome this spring. But I live in the Diocese of Rochester, so I'm hoping for a new springtime and the revivification going on in this movement seems like the best thing for the Church lately.

further - I've already accepted a name-change for the parish in Vancouver, BC. Suggestions welcome!
