In short, one could tell very early on that the pastor was clearly NOT in charge.
Being seating on the last row of the choir loft, I did notice several tall vessels on the altar, but the decanter, after the wine was poured was returned to a side table and ignored for the rest of the Mass. Though I am not sure if the tall vessels were chalices or ciboria. In any case, the Precious Blood of our Lord was not poured from one vessel to another as near as I could see. Personally, I don't know if this is because, having so many people in church they opted against having communion under both species or Father had been talked to by the ArchBishop. The real test will be next Sunday. Bear wagers that it will be back to "normal."

edited by Bear: "You Are Mine" was a total disaster. The choir had only practiced it once, and a very large section of the choir had not sung in over a year- they turned up for this Mass alone.

Tell Out My Soul (Woodlands)
I did greet the Archbishop after the Mass, which lasted 2 hours, but all I managed to say was
"Your Grace, have a good Sunday"
