Im agreeing with the Catholics in principle. That principle being that if you do things with meaning that increase your relationship with God, then by all means do it. If you are doing something because the church said so, or bobby said so, or in vanity than I would caution one agianst it, because there is no life in it. So if the Catholic brothers and sister do this because it brings them closer to God and not because the church demands it, then I would not say anything to disrupt that.

Thank you. I would like to say that if the Church demands such a thing from people it is in the interest of growing such good habits. Sometimes we need a push.
