Then why don’t you hold hands throughout the Mass, even while receiving Holy Communion?
As a Protestant, I need my hands to take Communion...one hand holds the (Matzo Bread) cracker, one hand hold the cup...
Believe me that day any preacher, priest, father, clergyman tells me I can't hold my wife hands during worship service because of some legalist reason, will be the day I never set foot in that church again...
