Another example of long-ago divergence of custom and tradition in the Two Lungs of the Church.

Believe me, the folks in the Roman churches who are standing for the entire Consecration are NOT the same as the Orthodox folks who are standing throughout.

I bet none of the Orthodox are doing the "field goal heave", imitating the priest's gestures, or holding hands and holding their hands above their heads during the Our Father . . . .

Oh, Gawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably just as good we don’t have intercommunion. I’d likely start gagging.
