The most disgusting and disturbing instance I've seen (among many) was when a Mass had just started and a woman and her kid came in late. Ok fine. But in the kid's hand was a half eaten burger and fries from the Burger King down the street. You could smell the stuff throughout the entire church. This was when I was in the Army and stationed in Germany and had no choice but to attend the church on base. And no, the priests there would never had said anything about it, especially considering the fact that one of the priests there one time took out his guitar and starting singing to everyone a little rock song about how happy he was.
Thankfully, I don't have to subject myself to the military diocese kumbaya Mass any longer.

Hang around the forum awhile. You'll hear worse. But you'll also hear far better. And more importantly, you'll hear how Good People are bucking the tide. I actually heard about eastern Catholicism on this forum, and am now very happily attending an eastern Catholic church.
