St Thomas More Chapel At Yale

I’ll probably burn in hell for reviewing a church, but I figure that as long as I’m only saying good things about good churches and not anything about churches that I don’t like to go to it should be OK (not that there are churches I don’t like to go to, oh that’s just crazy talk).
The truth of the matter is, I’m not the most pious Catholic of all time. But, when I do go to church, it’s here. Father Bob and Father Peter give down-​to-​earth sermons and are kind and accepting. Both of them run groups with both the undergraduate and graduate students. The events are kind of cool, too. They run events like, «Theology on Tap,» where everybody goes to grab beers and talk about interesting aspects of Catholicism or the «Science and Religion» series where they bring in famous types like Brian Greene and talk about the boundaries between science and religion. They do a really good job of fostering intellectual discourse and I find their message to be a good and well thought-​out one.
They also have this gigantic center called The Golden Center that’s part of the church and there’s a bumpin’ library, cafeteria, conference rooms, library for studying, meditation room, auditorium, and game room with a foosball table, fridge, flat panel tv, and a Wii. While it is crazy golden, it’s actually named after a Yale alum who donated a bofrillion dollars to build the center. (Yale sold the plot to the church for $ 1 rent for like a 100 years). It’s basically ridiculous. I’ve never seen a church have so many flat panel televisions ever. If you’re a Yale student, you totally have access to the center and, therefore, totally win. They even have snacks and stuff. It’s an awesome place where I actually got a lot of work done. There are even these illuminated bible passages in the library that look awesome… awesome… Awesome.
The people there are generally pretty open and, dare I say, liberal. If you’re Catholic and a little bit left-​leaning or otherwise just chill, it’s a really awesome church. I highly recommend them. Also, they hold mass at 10am, 5pm, and 10pm on Sundays during the school year… so… holla!
