Some of the more, ah, interesting accounts:
- A Waukesha parish, which shall not be named, had a female read Jesus' part during the Gospel reading on Palm Sunday;
- Bishop Sklba and retired Archbishop Weakland celebrated Easter Sunday Mass at the Cathedral in Milwaukee;
- And at an unnamed Diocese of
Sigh.
Below is a You Tube from the low Mass (Latin) at St. Stanislaus in Milwaukee. (If you're interested, read about St. Stanislaus here; his feast day was April 11.)
Update, 2:15 pm: A friend sent me this article about the TLM in England. Canon Meney, previously our priest at St. Stan's, is now in charge of bringing the Latin Mass to England. Anti-Catholicism is very prevalent in England, so keep this latest effort of the ICKSP in your prayers.

Despite what was reported in the local press, Weakland did NOT celebrate Mass at the Cathedral on Easter. Sklba, who now sports a beard, looks, from a distance, eerily like Weakland. It was he who celebrated Easter at the cathedral. The "reporters" from the Journal-Sentinel are either too incompetent or too lazy to actually verify such things...
Where are the positive things that went on during Holy Week and the Triduum. While I acknowledge a lot of ugliness around our area, and that we should work to change such things where we can, there were no doubt tons of reverent, holy celebrations with no acknowledgement.
The Madison incident was actually in the Diocese of Peoria, IL. We were visiting my in-laws.
Fair enough JoshD. If anyone has photos they can send in, please do. I'm certain there were many beautiful liturgies for Holy Week, but we can only speak to what we witness or what readers send us.
Sadly, I open my mouth but can't offer any of the same as I was out of town with family for the Triduum. I have faith that my parish (St. Anthony's in Milwaukee) did a wonderful job though. I was at St. John Cantius in Chicago. Beautiful as always!
