I am about to put up a sign in our Adoration Chapel that says: “Silence. Prayer Only.”

I wonder if Msgr. Pope ever attended a service at one of the churches of our Pentecostal / Charismatic brothers and sisters, where they sometimes enthusiastically and boisterously "speak in tongues", "dance in the Spirit", are "slain in the Spirit", etc.    That's a whole different level of anti-quietude.

Perhaps creating a deposit box for all cell phones, blackberries, I-whatevers and return them to the congregants after they leave. ;-)

The only time I wish there were silence is right after Communion.

It’s crowded and quiet in my Catholic Church except for the babies..............

CORRECTED VERSION:

Cardinal Donald Wuerl should be denied Communion until he changes his refusal to obey Canon 915, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke said, according to the Western Center for Journalism.

That’s canon law, not opinion, he said. Canon 915 states that Catholics who are stubbornly contrary “in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”

And Cardinal Burke said Cardinal Wuerl fits the definition.

“Certainly this is a case when Canon 915 must be applied,” he said, the Western Center for Journalism reported. “This is a person who obstinately, after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin — refusing to obey Canon 915 — and still professes to be a devout Catholic.”

The cardinal also said that Cardinal Wuerl is a perfect example of Catholics who separate their faith from day-to-day living.

“This is a prime example of what Blessed John Paul II referred to as the situation of Catholics who have divorced their faith from their public life and therefore are not serving their brothers and sisters in the way that they must — in safeguarding the Eucharist from sacrilege, in preventing grave scandal, and promoting the life of the innocent and defenseless unborn, in safeguarding and promoting the integrity of marriage and the family,” he said.

The cardinal, an American, is the prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome, Life News reported.

After I switched mass times, I now attend a mass where a number of senior citizens come about an hour early and can hear who is going for a colonoscopy and who is going to the eye doctor this week, etc...oh, and they’re in the last pew and I’m in the first pew...and the guy who does the most talking, is the first to quote church law and procedures.
