Edit: they should realize that, as Bob Dylan once said, “the times, they are a chsngin’”.
One thing the story neglects to say is that the parish had about 50 in attendance at Sunday “Mass” where Cardinal Mindszenty once celebrated the Novus Ordo. Mindszenty said Mass in the American Embassy with his back to God, by the by. It was disturbing to see him use diaphanous containers and a crystal chalice for the wine as well. How he failed to get proper furnishings for the Immemorial Mass at the Embassy is beyond me.
When the carpenter was dismantling the “altar” the new ICK pastor told an objecting old coot that, “it’s only a table.” Yeah, a cookie table! Where are all of the vestments? “Oh, they’ve been moved to a remote place.” Like a thrift store?
Most of the people cited in the article are practically dead. Only senior citizens were present for comment.
[Fishrap] Shaking his head, Bob Purgert tilted one of the pedestals that supported the top of what is now a dismantled altar, stored in an unheated hall on the property of his beloved St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Cleveland's economically struggling Buckeye neighborhood.
He showed a visitor the casters under the pedestal that allowed for the altar to be rolled aside for special events. Chipped and splintered wood could be seen atop and along the sides of the pedestal, a second one next to it and the altar top resting on a table nearby.
"They didn't have to do this," a disappointed Purgert, 71, said of the damaged altar. Parishioners are deeply proud of the altar, which parish priest Fr. Julius Zahorszky built in 1966 to accommodate the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

You can get the best hot dogs accross the street.
Maybe if what EMJ describes in slaughter of cities hadn’t happened, the parish wouldn’t be virtually empty of faithful?
Hey! You old coots.
Now you know how we felt in 1966 when our sanctuaries were demolished.
What goes around comes around.

These exotic little pom-pom biretta-ed 'Canons' will gradually fade into oblivion the more they find themselves estranged from the Catholic Church and isolated from wider realities.
Their Mass centres look pretty vibrant. People don’t want dusty, dessicated Vatican II parishes dominated by meanie Becky on the Parish Council, and disinterested gheys like Flaybrielle.
Very true. I cannot speak for all, but the TLM parish that I belong to (FSSP) has a pretty large number of men and women under 40.
Memo to Cleveland: If your best warrior is 90, you had best iron out the white flags.
How dare anyone complain about what Netanyahu/Opus JuDei is doing? This is war! We gotz to keep the youths in the novus ordo!
The post doesn’t have anything to do with Palestine, dumbo.
It also has nothing to do with jews, abortion, sodomy, or euthanasia.
Someone is huffin' keyboard duster.
Opus Devil is excommicating everyone from his anti-Opus church!
Mindszenty was an ecclesiastical Jansenist. Clearly, Lutheranism was alive and kicking in Hungary.
Boomer EMJ loves the novus ordo rite (hand clapping and guitars) and condemns those who insist on attending a TLM as schismatics.
@1040 nobody’s perfect. At least he’s not a Gaybot like Gaybrielle!
Now, now Gaybrielle. Everyone knows you r like that. No need to bother everyone about it!
