text: I'm not finding fault with the immigrants wanting to have something familiar but with the bishops and priests of the time for not saying, as Eparch  Zaidan did in Minneapolis (here I paraphrase), "This is where the altar is, this is where your church is."  The +Carroll model of an "American Church" left a lot of problems in its wake, including who has the right to close a parish, land disposition, business model, etc.
  That isn't to say that the Old World got everything right, either.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think that a lot of Catholic would have left if Germans and Poles had to share a parish in the New World if they were given a priest or priests to serve their particular communities needs.
  On a separate subject; any new beer recommendations?  I just tried Spencer  Brewery's Monk's Reserve (a quadruple).  It was excellent and reminded me of some that you can get in Belgium and The Netherlands.
