Holding hands durring the Our Father?

[Annabelle_Marie]

I kind of got off topic discussing the sign of piece. And yes that is mutually exclusive to the faith in the mass in my view because what you are supposed to be seeing is Christ, broken and bloody, being lifted up on the cross for your sins. Imagine actually being at the foot of the cross of your savior and having everybody breakout with a jolly meet and greet right there while your Lord is dying. You wouldn’t. The action takes away from what faith is supposed to communicate to you. That you are actually at the real and true crucifixion of Jesus.

Really? Because obviously the Church does not feel that way…it IS in the liturgy. Here is something that is actually in the liturgy and you choose to ignore it. But yet you look down on people who actually follow the Mass as it is written? How is that any different? You are picking and choosing how YOU want the Mass to be. Same thing you are saying of others who hold hands during the Our Father. I find the sign of peace to be a loving thing (not getting carried away in it) and it reminds me of my faith at Mass…and the very, very loving thing that Christ did for us.

You don’t want to shake hands- fine—but you can’t nod? It was you that said you gave people the cold shoulder…I don’t find giving people the cold shoulder and the love that Christ gave us by dying on the cross to correluate:shrug:

This is the punchline.

When the change is agreed with it is slow, deliberate and organic, in line with proper development. When change is not agreed with, it is Protestant, modernist incrementalism.

Essentially, yes.
