I don't even notice who does,and who does not go to Communion. Seriously. I'm usually distributing, or, if not, I'm thanking Jesus for His Body and Blood.

Well, I am at two masses on Sundays. One where I'm actually attending, that one I am praying. The next with my CCD group. There, I get parents waving at me. Some coming back from communion. It's not really funny.

It is very disturbing when at Mass the young man in front of you is chewing gum through the Mass and goes to communion with the same gum in mouth

It is also disturbing when a man and woman in the first row are whispering in each others ear while the Offertory is being said and the go to communion.

It is disturbing when on Easter morning you cannot get a seat in Church or Christmas while the rest of the year there are plenty of seats. And the whole congregation goes to communion.

No one knows who has mortal sin on their souls but just the percentage of Saturday penance candidates compared to the percentage of communicants on Saturday eve and Sunday Masses just does not come close to any balance at all.

10 go to confession and 600 receive. Come on!
