"People enter churches to pray, not to be entertained."

Amen to that! On Good Friday last year, some CINOs who now attend an Evangelical Church, decided to join us. While we all prayed in silence awaiting the priest's entrance, these two women carried on a conversation - a loud conversation. They had lost all sense of decorum. If they show up again this year, they'll get an earful from me - with Father's blessing.

I got "liturgical dancers" last Easter. I was out of town and picked the wrong church! I was not very happy.

"While we all prayed in silence"

It bothers me every Sunday, arrive at Mass attempt to pray, and I'm listening to people chattering all around like they are at a cocktail party! drives me batty!

Go get 'em! BAM! Or signal Father in some way so he'll know they're yapping and he can stop and publicly point right at them and tell them to shut their traps. With any luck, they'll die of embarrassment!
