Yesterday I attended Mass in another diocese and the parishoners broke into spontaneous applause at the end of Mass, like "good show!"Really??? Some people stayed until the end... I normally see people executing the "eucharistic departure." Gather up your stuff, get in line for eucharist, get the eucharist, head out the back door!

It was Judas, who left immediately after Holy Communion at the very First Mass. He had serious business to take care of.

Well, if they know that "spontaneous applause" is about to erupt, I can't honestly blame them!

Many rush out the door because they can't stand the Mass itself. They only want to fulfill their obligation and leave as soon as possible.
