That is an extremely lame excuse to justify one’s preference to avoid an extension of peace, since there are ways to convey it without using a handshake. I am rather surprised that you don’t carry a sterile cloth to wipe down the pew, missalette, holy water font, and front door handle, lest those in the mass ahead of you may have sneezed and placed their hands upon them.And germs are transmitted from hand contact…and if someone in front of me is obviously sneezing and coughing into their hands; I have actually found myself shaking it anyway!! I’ll wipe my hand off on my clothes and just don’t touch my face…; it is gross to even think about for me as I am some what of a germaphobe (not sure thats a word). Anyway I haven’t started reading this thread yet lot’s of posts!
