How about just plain old “Catholic Calisthenics”?
Those who can’t hold still through Holy Mass. They are doing the “hands extended” Orans position, which is a priestly gesture, the “lift up your hearts” freethrow toss, Holding hands up in the air with the little final cheer during “For thine is the kingdom...” along with the across the aisle handshaking and gladhanding.

They are so devout.

Catholic Calisthenics: Stand. Sit. Kneel.

What my dad calls the "Episcopal Aerobics".

I wonder why no one has ever suggested having cheerleaders?

Or have they?

It's all just a distraction, imho.
