Can’t have any of that emotion stuff there, now can we.

What next? Someone might actually feel joy in their relationship with Christ?

They might be happy and *gasp* smile?

They might love God?

Funny, isn’t it, how people are so criticized for raising their hands in worship and showing some emotion when you look at any popular sporting event, like football or hockey.

Good grief, talk about mob emotion.... Shouting, cheering, waving, holding signs, beign excited.......

But can’t have any of that enthusiam stuff in church now, can we?

I wonder if Catholics sit on their hands during the Superbowl as well?

INDEED!

Naw. They probably don't sit on their hands. They just wrap them in white hankys and take them out only to genuflect very emotionally or habitually or ritually or perfunctually or some such.

Actually, I suspect quite a number of RC's worship at the altar of exaggerated sports enthusiasm.

There are probably even some sports figures who are close to bumping Mary off the supremely most worshipped figure category in many RC lives.
