Back before VatII, there used to be many things referred to as “paraliturgical” ceremonies, such as devotions, etc. celebrated in the church. I think the Mass should be the Mass, and people should do other group prayer things in separate services, if that appeals to them. I run the other direction whenever anybody wants to give me a big warm hug and tell me how much the Lord has done for them, but I realize there are people who like that and it’s fine - just not at Mass, please!
I agree.
