Solemn Mass today was splendid, and with very noticeably higher
attendance than usual. There were no disruptions nor speechmaking, and
the only sort of protest, or really more of a tribute, was applause
for the organ postlude, which is unusual (but not unheard of). Perhaps
some of the added attendees were there to support David and Tom, or
choir members. Not sure.

So church wasn't terribly weird today as I thought it might be.
