Tradition In Churches

[Faithful heart]

I do agree that when it comes to the parishiners, you should just pray for them and try not to be bothered. As for women who breast feed, I feel the baby has every right to be in Church, and if the baby is hungry it has to eat. As long as the mother was being tasteful about it. I try not to focus on the people around me. There is one EM who will not bow during the Concecration, I get mad and then I say a prayer on her behalf.

In the old Parish I used to go to, when the wafer was to be consecrated, everyone kneeled. The EMs and we the Altar Servers kneeled as well. Including when he consumed the wafer.

at the Seminary in the same town as FX2's notorious church the seminarians stand during the consecration and gather aroudn teh altar and its all big ugly mess

They used to do that at my church too. The priest actually invited people up to stand around the altar during concecration.

The alter servers and readers (most of them) dont kneel during the concecration, nor is there really a place for them to kneel. Most of the altar servers at our church are older people, only about 25% of them are children, so i can understand kneel on hard ground.

But anyway, thanks for all of your replys. Maybe my mom will allow me to go to church on my own now. I hate seperating from my family, but i feel like it is not right for me to be angry at church every time i go.
