These things are never going to change until WE stop doing them. When those who do these things are in the minority, and they are frowned upon by the majority, then they will stop. Until then, we—those who do not like these things—must be an example of how one should conduct themselves at mass. Every time you walk into the Church, think----“Am I part of the problem, or part of the solution?” And act accordingly. The same goes for a lot of the other complaints I’ve heard here. Personally, I :
1.) Kneel to receive Holy Communion
2.) Cover my head (I’m female, and that’s in the Bible)
3.) Genuflect when the Incarnation is mentioned in the Creed
4.) Wear my Sunday best to mass
5.) Don’t "peace with anyone
6.) Keep silence in the Church both before and after mass–out of respect for those who are praying.
7.) Do not participate in the “Kum-by-ya” songs.
Let’s face it—the Church has become what we have allowed it to become. And only we can change that, by no longer allowing it.
So Kevin, do YOU take your cell phone to mass, chit-chat after or before mass in the sanctuary, or wear blue jeans to mass???Interesting question, calls for a interesting answer.
- cell phones ringing
- chit-chat before and after mass, lack of respect for the house of Christ.
- parishoners wearing blue jeans to church
