"I agree with Metmom, no Mass I ever attended nor the ones I have attended with Mom have people “lifting up” their hands in praise to God."

Every parish in my diocese has hands joined and raised during the Our Father, but we don't have any snake handling.

LOL, your tag line made me think of the old commercial for Sure deodorant.

Raise you hands if you’re sure. You feel confident and secure.
That’s how I feel as a Catholic.

Ah, just being silly, it’s been a long day.

Had to go through the “Virtus” lesson with my confirmation kids.

Have to say, I had their attention. LOL

You know, that’s pretty immature and disingenuous to reply to
boatbums post and even quote it and not ping her, especially since when you hit the reply button, the reply automatically goes to her, and yet suddenly viola’ her name doesn’t appear anywhere in the *to* field in your reply.

That said, about your claims of hand raising during prayer...

I don’t believe it. At all.

I hope you begin to eventually see that this little ruse of "I'm not going to respond to someone on my 'list', but I'm still going to respond to their comments." only looks more and more childish every time you do it. Get over your little pout or don't reply to a post without pinging the poster. It's rude and against FR courtesy.

Same here. We also have no parishioners speaking in tongues or rolling around in epileptic fits on a regular basis.
