She hates it when people applaud at the end of a Mass.

Do you know that in Rome, at the end of the Mass when the Pope is processing out, the congregation always claps and cheers him on. Quite enthusiastically, too. And it's not just the Pope. I went to a Mass celebrated by Cardinal Ruini and they did the same thing with him.

I don't mind clapping or cheering for a pope, some other bishop or cardinal. I do mind group claps for ourselves and the like.

Mass is not a performance or entertainment, it is the highest form of prayer.
