>>am I being too judgemental? should I be glad that at least they are at mass ( which I am).<<
No. You are not.
I tire of the “At least they’re there” excuse. because they are not. Their bodies are there.
It’s time we started to get people to understand that we are asked for ONE hour a week. ONE hour. Hold still, stop texting, playing PS3s, sipping water, and feeding your kids. Jesus is there, right there, on the Altar.
If your parent was in a nursing home couldn’t you give him/her an hour a week? Afterall, Christ was ONLY nailed to a cross for three hours for you. These people should get on their big kid undies and suck it up for Jesus.
Just my rant for the day.
thanks, I needed that.
I have gone to some masses where the majority is poor hispanic. while the infants may cry, there is a much more reverant tone.
Maybe its just the entitled, child focused bunch that parent by incessant rewards, ie bribes. Hate to see what happens to these spoiled kids if a depression hits. They will probably throw a major violent temper tantrum.
