How did we come to understand that we should dress appropriately for Mass? Did someone shame us into it or was it more like something gnawing at us that we knew that we could show our love and respect to God by dressing a little more appropriately for Mass, or guarding our speech, or trying not to hold conversation in Church and so on. It is good for our parents and teachers to guide us in ways that our proper. They do this because they love us and want us to do what is right. Our love for God should compel us to love others and to pray for them. But we should remember the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector Luke 18: 9-14.I believe that people once in the main part of the church should stop talking so that those who come early to pray are,t disturbed, ,for Jesus in present in the church in the tab-lice,and people need to talk before they entered the church ,and they should also wear the proper clothes ,for when they are in the church,I do, so give me your opinion . God Bless
I agree for the most part. Some noise is unavoidable though. When I see people enjoying their fellow Catholics or comforting someone who needs it I really don’t mind the noise.I believe that people once in the main part of the church should stop talking so that those who come early to pray are,t disturbed, ,for Jesus in present in the church in the tab-lice,and people need to talk before they entered the church ,and they should also wear the proper clothes ,for when they are in the church,I do, so give me your opinion .

I had A talk with the Holy Eucharist people back in the room were they get ready,and I told them that there a women using her cell phone,we had a few words and I told that,s not right, I,ev had with the priest with another Issue ,and both of them did n,t give me the reply I want too here,so I walk away i remember when I was at another Parish and the priest was coming down from the choir are after giving someone Communion AND he seen a father and son leaving and he said to them Mass in,t over yet,That a priest ,and at that parish ,they tell a very one please turn your cell phone off now, before Mass, getting what I,am trying to say ?Looking for supporters of your opinion online isn’t going to fix any perceived problems in your parish. As 1ke said, talk to your pastor about these things.
Either your pastor will listen and take action, or he will explain to you why he won’t.
Either way, you have cleared your conscience if it bugs you that much.
*I get the distinct impression from your threads that you feel compelled to “school” forum members on Catholic theology and norms. While there are many lurkers and non-Catholics here, the majority of the CAF membership is comprised of cradle Catholics, practicing Catholics in good standing, catechists, parish employees who have seen it all, RCIA leadership, priests, deacons, seminarians, and many others who are well educated in matters of faith. *
If you are dissatisfied with your parish, speak to one priest who can help you.
I want too hear the Mass,not people talking,THE only noise I want too hear is the priest saying the Mass,him reading the Gospel,and the choir singing ,an thing else is a distraction ,What are people turning the church into ,boy I miss the old days,in the 50ths,when the people treated the main part off the church as a place place of silence,and waiting for Mass to being. AND too receive the Lord. God help us , for they are turning your church into a place off Gossip ,instead off praying before Mass. :knight2:I agree for the most part.

All that said, my parish does have a sign at the main entrance, just before you enter the church, that says “Please observe the solemnity of prayer”.
The church is a place of worship,a place were we can go to pray ,and prepare yourself for Mass,it is not a place to Gossip ,before Mass starts,they can go outside or at the back off the church,remember what Jesus did when he found the place of his Fathers house being used for other then pray ,he trash it,and told them in my Father house it is a place off worship then we also should treat God,s house a place of worship only. :knight2::knight2:How did we come to understand that we should dress appropriately for Mass?

The proper term for those whom you refer to as “Holy Eucharist people” is Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.I had A talk with the Holy Eucharist people back in the room were they get ready,and I told them that there a women using her cell phone,we had a few words and I told that,s not right, I,ev had with the priest with another Issue ,and both of them did n,t give me the reply I want too here,so I walk away i remember when I was at another Parish and the priest was coming down from the choir are after giving someone Communion AND he seen a father and son leaving and he said to them Mass in,t over yet,That a priest ,and at that parish ,they tell a very one please turn your cell phone off now, before Mass, getting what I,am trying to say ?
So I failed in spelling, give me a break,there are others too that miss spell I seen on treads .I suppose you have no fault,s ? I do use spell check,but sometimes I can,t get the word close often to correct it.,so forgive me,for the Lord want,s you too love other,s, God help this person to be nicer. AMENtab-lice? really?

I misspell plenty of words myself, but “tab-lice” does not come close to “tabernacle”. Do you not look over your post? you could make corrections for a short time afterwards. Yes, the Lord does want you to love others, too.So I failed in spelling, give me a break,there are others too that miss spell I seen on treads .I suppose you have no fault,s ?

Don’t pick on him too hard*, we are all called to charity. Plus I’m sorry the OP (Original Poster) just might have a point.I misspell plenty of words myself, but “tab-lice” does not come close to “tabernacle”. Do you not look over your post? you could make corrections for a short time afterwards. Yes, the Lord does want you to love others, too.
I agree that people should not hold conversations and gossip before Mass. They should not carry on needless conversation during Mass either. On this I agree. However, before Mass, a smile and a quick hello is ok. Also, we do not always know what people are saying whether they are gossiping, or not. Not every small exchange of words is an offense to God. But we should be mindful of where we are and of others trying to pray and take our conversations out the door. :knight1:The church is a place of worship,a place were we can go to pray ,and prepare yourself for Mass,it is not a place to Gossip ,before Mass starts,they can go outside or at the back off the church,remember what Jesus did when he found the place of his Fathers house being used for other then pray ,he trash it,and told them in my Father house it is a place off worship then we also should treat God,s house a place of worship only. :knight2::knight2:
