And I'm positive that everytime during the RC Mass, every heart is tuned to only God, every prayer is always heartfelt, every "And unto you" is meant, every "peace be unto you" is earnestly spoken and every communicant is pure as the driven snow. But, God forbid if even one turns up their hand(s) towards Heaven!

“But, God forbid if even one turns up their hand(s) towards Heaven!”

Now that’s just silly.

And it’s assuming to pass judgment on a whole crowd of people by how they hold their hands in church.

I actually worship daily in my Catholic Church and I know that—unless you forgot to put a sarc/ tag on this comment—we are NOT looking askance at how our neighbors in the pew about how they are holding their hands during worship.

“...every communicant is pure as the driven snow”.

Really? You’re “positive” that is the case “everytime (sic) during the RC Mass”?

This is not about men reaching up to God; it's about mob emotion and waving about like kelp in the current.
