Any mass on any Saturday or Sunday would have the same lifting up of hands in prayer in my town. Probably throughout the state, although I haven’t been to every parish.
Sorry, should have said “in praise.”
No one can honestly take these specious accusations or those who post them seriously. It is obvious to even casual Catholics that they are never based upon actual Catholic doctrines and practices, but are rather confabulated to attempt to inflame Catholics.
Those who profess to have been actual Catholics but possess little or no knowledge of Catholic doctrines beyond the Baltimore Catechism and Jack T. Squat comic books are akin to the fake Navy Seals and Green Berets I have encountered over the years. Their lies only impress themselves, the truly ignorant and each other. If they only realized how utterly ridiculous and contemptible the appear to real Catholics, like the Rambo's do to real vets.
