However, that said, these old ladies can be vicious. I hate the NO mass, but I go to it because there is no Byzantine rite parish around here. I love daily Mass, but I really can't go because of the Eucharettes. I refuse to hold hands and do the wave at the end of the Our Father (you know, where everybody lifts their hands and those of their neighbors, even if said neighbors are standing in front of them at the end of the row and having their arms wrenched out of the socket by the wave folks).
The Eucharettes are staked out in the pews until just before Communion. One of them came over and slapped me on the shoulder because I had my hands pressed together and wasn't holding her hand. I thought she was having a stroke and had fallen on me...then I realized she was simply really PO'd...
Things only got worse after that and she refused to shake my hand at the "kiss of peace." Then she left to do her Eucharette duties...
