The “sign of peace” is the main reason I stopped attending church. I do not attend church for “fellowship.” I go for reflection and atonement. I don’t need that process interrupted by socializing.

Religion Forum threads labeled “Caucus”:
if it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not currently, actively Catholic, then do not post to the thread.
Follow me to the Latin Mass. No reason you should have to miss Mass altogether.

well then we’re in agreement, I go to worship, praise and thank the Lord for his sacrifice and everything he does for all.
internal words of praise during the consecration part of the mass are very important over passive participation.
