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.

put back up the communion rails and turn the alter to face the cross like it was pre-Vatican II. You would LOVE this place.

Some of the churches here still have communion rails. Truly, if we kneel do we really need the rail? You can do it without the rail. I guess it just makes things more formal.
And I wish we would use chant more often.
