The old lady scowled. She looked at the proffered hand as if it were diseased. `I don't believe in that [expletive]

However indelicately expressed, she demonstrated that she had a far superior understanding of the nature and direction of true Catholic worship than exists among most Catholic theologians.

Some of the tasteless kitsch that has been tolerated on consecrated ground is shameful. I wish they would add seminar courses on Sacred Art, Music, Style, and Taste in Western Culture to priestly formation. I have heard fellow Catholics tell me they have a friend or spouse they would love to convert BUT that they would be embarrassed to take them to Mass at their parish. Why and how does this happen?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!
Catholic worship is not about hateful rejection! Even if her belief about the kiss of peace were 100% true, she missed far more basic points, and contradicted herself.

Simply refusing the handshake would be one thing, but to quarel and cuss in the middle of mass?! Truly vile, disgusting behavior, which should be immediately condemned!
