"The norm of the church is clear," he said. "The church exists in the United States. There are bishops there, let them interpret it."

But don't hold your breath waiting for them to do it....

Our parish priest went through a long dissertation on reverence and when we should bow and who is allowed on the alter when. After hearing him I thought to my self that they should put back up the communion rails and turn the alter to face the cross like it was pre-Vatican II. For me it just does not cut it this emphasis on the priest as the intercessor to God.

Two weeks later the parish priest was arrested for trolling homosexuals (undercover cop) in a park in another city.

the instruction did not ban liturgical dance; it did not mention dance at all.

How Unfortunate!

The first two I emailed the two priest at my church. I'm tired of people falling over two aisles to shake hands and the "extra ordinary servers" walking up the aisle for a hand shake. Also, those receiving communion in the hand and walking about 15 feet from the altar as they put the host in thier mouths.

The third is for a church I went to for a novena and they had the Euharist and the 2 challices were of glass holding the wine.

[72.] It is appropriate “that each one give the sign of peace only to those who are nearest and in a sober manner”. “The Priest may give the sign of peace to the ministers but always remains within the sanctuary, so as not to disturb the celebration. He does likewise if for a just reason he wishes to extend the sign of peace to some few of the faithful”. “As regards the sign to be exchanged, the manner is to be established by the Conference of Bishops in accordance with the dispositions and customs of the people”, and their acts are subject to the recognitio of the Apostolic See.[152]
90.] “The faithful should receive Communion kneeling or standing, as the Conference of Bishops will have determined”, with its acts having received the recognitio of the Apostolic See. “However, if they receive Communion standing, it is recommended that they give due reverence before the reception of the Sacrament, as set forth in the same norms”.[176]

92.] Although each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue, at his choice,[178] if any communicant should wish to receive the Sacrament in the hand, in areas where the Bishops’ Conference with the recognitio of the Apostolic See has given permission, the sacred host is to be administered to him or her. However, special care should be taken to ensure that the host is consumed by the communicant in the presence of the minister, so that no one goes away carrying the Eucharistic species in his hand. If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful.[179]

[117.] Sacred vessels for containing the Body and Blood of the Lord must be made in strict conformity with the norms of tradition and of the liturgical books.[205]The Bishops’ Conferences have the faculty to decide whether it is appropriate, once their decisions have been given the recognitio by the Apostolic See, for sacred vessels to be made of other solid materials as well. It is strictly required, however, that such materials be truly noble in the common estimation within a given region,[206]so that honour will be given to the Lord by their use, and all risk of diminishing the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharistic species in the eyes of the faithful will be avoided. Reprobated, therefore, is any practice of using for the celebration of Mass common vessels, or others lacking in quality, or devoid of all artistic merit or which are mere containers, as also other vessels made from glass, earthenware, clay, or other materials that break easily. This norm is to be applied even as regards metals and other materials that easily rust or deteriorate.[207
