And I can’t forget the ridiculous spectacle of holding each other’s hands during the Our Father, something that was first started at AA meetings in the 60s by hippies, and carried over into protestant services. Now this feely, feely, hippy nonsense is taking place in Catholic Churches all over the country. I refuse to hold anyone’s hands when I am praying in church.

Also a liturgical abuse.

So what's that mean??? Catholic alcoholics don't go to AA, they just go to Mass???

Well you could be right. We should be doing what Paul told the Romans:

Romans 16:16King James Version (KJV)

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.(KJV)

How about that? Right there in Holy Scriptures!

Given some of the inclinations of some clergy, I’d be careful.
