The parish I am in now, I've never noticed the priest shaking hands. I am a convert, and the "mass confusion" isn't what I expected coming in. I remembered the Masses I'd attended as a teenager, and it was so different. (in the 70's). Frankly, I could live without this particular ritual, it does seem to break into the solemn rite of Communion. This parish is better than the one I attended before-there was no sense of the Consecration & Eucharist being the "main event". Alot of shortcuts in the Mass there.

As for the "mass confusion", many of us cradle catholics have had to deal with confusion and changes, following Vatican II. You will enjoy the discussions in this forum.

We really need to provide a list of reverent, traditional and quasi traditional parish to help Catholics who are suffering nationwide. I have tried to start threads such of this before, but some elements of these parish' are no altar girls, no EMEs, orthdox preaching, and possible use of the communion rail. Fellow Catholics should not have to suffer.
