To correct you, the ministry of greeters can be found not only in the Protestant churches, but in many Catholic parishes as well. It is Biblical, it is part of being the doorkeeper.

“To correct you, the ministry of greeters can be found not only in the Protestant churches, but in many Catholic parishes as well. It is Biblical, it is part of being the doorkeeper.”

To correct you back, it is a post Vat II innovation and is no more Biblical than the protestant misapprehension regarding the Real Presence.

Protestants may do as they wish, without any hindrance from me, and I liked it when Catholics were Catholic, without these protestant accretions.

I remember having gone to a protestant church with my mother (1911 - 1968), and on the walk home listening to her opining on the lack of dignity. The “greeting” was one of the things that bothered her most (after the guitar).
