Yes, I've noticed, but what really sets my teeth on edge is the "bowing to graven images" -- i.e., the priest and his entourage come on the altar and everyone bows toward the front; same thing at the end -- bows to what exactly? The Sacrament is reserved on a side altar and ignored; the Real Presence used to be the Catholic justification against Protestant arguments of idolatry, i.e., "bowing to graven images."

Perhaps you neither consider the altar to be a sacred place, nor have the relics of a saint contained within?

You consider bowing to relics (if there are indeed any in the table) acceptable?
