A roman catholic church that's a little liberal? Or a liberal catholic church (it's a separate thing, believe it or not).

The church,St. Thomas, is not Roman Catholic.

We'd rather stay local....I used to teach at a pretty chill place in the west village, but it's just too far for this kind of thing.
This page lists St. Joseph as "gay-friendly" which is a pretty good code for "kinda liberal."afa said:

Can you try attending a service or two at each of the local Roman Catholic Churches and see which is the best fit or do catchment areas determine which church you should attend?

Which is exactly what RobB said in his post.

Plus, once a month this super cute volunteer MPD officer makes sure all St Joe's church-goers get crossed safely on their way to services.

@adele, would we have to create some kind of life or death situation though? I do like a good DIY, but since I'm doing this to appease my mother I want it to be on the up and up.

Well, don't tell your mother, but pretty much anyone anywhere can perform a Catholic baptism. There's a handy little loophole. My mother, aware of this and distraught over my apostasy, baptized my newborn in my tanning booth-sized Upper West Side kitchen while I napped obliviously, dreaming my heathen dreams. I'm still mad about it. I win ultimately, though, because doesn't really count if it's against the parents' wishes! Take THAT, Mom! Also, take THAT, Sister Theophila! (She's another story, though.)

This makes sense to me.
I know very liberal leaning people who belong to St Rose and St Joe's (not at the same time) and feel comfortable there, for what it's worth. I think I know others who belong to OLS.

Not to split hairs over this, Ridski, the first part of RobB's post asked " Roman Catholic Church that's a little liberal."

Most of our local friends attend St Joe's on Prospect. It's a warm, welcome place. An yes, more progressive than others.

Is there a fairly liberal Catholic Church around here? I know about OLS and st. Joseph's, but not the culture of each place.
Thanks!
