wow, I'm suprised at the angst voiced in this thread over holding hands. Especially considering it is a fellow Christian's hand and it's during the praising of God.

So am I, but there are lots of folks in my parish who don't hold hands and nobody looks askance at them.

Those who don't like to hold hands,and don't like anyone else to hold hands, should CHILL.

Right. Same in my parish. Whatever. But why are they doing it? I think the story is that the charismatics started it. But is a liturical abuse (perhaps of the less serious sort but still it is an abuse.) Sorta unfair they get to start something new and I don't get to start something new. When does my turn come to make up something that does not belong in a mass and just start doing it? Suppose the Latin Mass people just starting going to New Mass and start saying all the responses in Latin because they are "moved by the spirit". That's the larger issue.
