Monsignor Pope Ping!
Left out overexertion.
When I was a kid, in the 1940s,fainting was routine because of the fasting rules.
.
I’m Catholic and it’s very rare if ever someone passes out during mass . Maybe we’re doing it all wrong .
Fainting never, but I have fallen asleep during a few homilies.
When I was a kid it was sleep from boredom. One Sunday me and a friend of mine were sitting in the front row in the balconey, which was above and in back of the church. My friend let out a burp that was so loud it shook the walls. I fell out of the pew laughing just in time as the entire chorus looked up at us along with the entire congregation. He probably got his ass beat for that but man, it was so worth it. I’ll never forget that moment.
For years my family attended midnight Mass on Christmas Eve at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
One year, a woman friend who came along fainted, no doubt due to the concentrated body heat of the standing room only crowd.
People were so tightly packed, she couldn’t fall down. She just slumped against us.
I passed out during a weekday grade school Mass in about fourth grade. My brother did one time at Sunday Mass. I remember the sort of muffled sound of people’s voices far away.
Good reasons on why people faint in church. Includes that old military warning: Don’t lock you knees while standing
I’m sorry to spoil all your fun and ridicule, but IT’S called “The Anointing”.
You can try to explain it away .. or you can learn what “The Anointing” is, and how IT can bless you; and even, in my case, I was healed from a terrible intestinal infection .. to which my doctor explained when he saw the video - “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life, all the infection was covered with scar tissue.”
It all occurred one evening at church when my Pastor laid hands on me .. and I “fainted”.
GOD promised healing and deliverance, but so many still try to keep GOD from doing what he promised.
“The Anointing” is God’s very presence; why would people not want to experience that ..???
Remember, as always, NOBODY HAS TO AGREE WITH ME.
