"The Faith" is not practiced on velvet clouds. Read Polycarp's recommendation above, and my concurrence.

Why do you put the Faith in quotes? I did read that exchange. I agree with Poly and somebody else on this list that the liturgy nuts are not to be trusted. Most of them try to be way too creative with something that needs no changes.

I also don't believe that we really need a rail, to be honest. Just to be on one's knees. and as for older people, an exception can be made. There is one made for those in wheelchairs now, but for youngun's like me, there's no excuse.

You're the one that made it an object.

I attend Mass and worship the Good Lord.

"Practicing the Faith" has a rather clinical connotation, to me.

I agree with Poly and somebody else on this list that the liturgy nuts are not to be trusted.

There's a big difference between "nuts" and "nazis." The Wanderer used "nazis," which is not at all surprising.

I once read an editorial, ten years ago, in which somebody at the Wanderer was still railing at priests who go out in public, and to athletic events, in casual dress.

Sorry to be so late to the party, but I had to respond to this.

It's not the kneeling that's the problem, it's the getting back up that requires a rail. I could care less about the little cushion part.
