Therefore, a priest who introduces, mandates, or imposes the holding of hands during the Lord’s Prayer is violating the norms set by the Church.

And why was this written??? Don't tell me it was common for priests to hold hands during the service...

Are you jesting? I can't tell because you didn't have a lol or smile emoticon next to your statement. If you are serious, this has nothing to do with priests holding hands during the Our Father. It has to do with the laity holding hands during the prayer and the priest encouraging it.
