I agree with you and I wish they’d stop the damned ‘’sign of peace’’ thing. Geez, what I wouldn’t give for a pre-Vatican Mass.

>>Geez, what I wouldn’t give for a pre-Vatican Mass.<<

If you share where you are at, many of us can direct you.

At my parish here in the Detroit area, we have not only a Pre-Vatican II Holy Mass (TLM) but also EVERY one of our masses are Historically correct VII masses, like you see on EWTN. No guitars, no talking in the main before or after, and proper dress. Although we don’t have an Altar rail, we have kneelers and receive kneeling by intiction on the tongue. I’ve even seen our priests hold a host up until a person opens his mouth.

Come join us if you’re ever in the area.

The Sign of Peace is complete descretional. Talk to your priest and ask if he has ever thought about eliminating it.

AMEN!

. . . I wish they’d stop the damned ‘’sign of peace’’ thing

I hate the fact that we have two of them, the first one being immediately proceeding the Procession: "Please stand and greet those around you."

Then there is the extra homily immediately following the Procession where the priest goes into great detail about what the readings are going to be about and how they relate to our lives, blah blah blah. Egos on Parade.

I didn’t know the “sign of peace” is from post VII times! (I was born in the late 70s)
