One of the big things that irks me is the Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers.

At our parish, the female EEM's do the homily at the childrens masses (no kidding).

They have the children come up to the front and do skits or talk.

I can't figure out why they are doing this at the Holy Mass since the children have religious instruction during the week.

It's abuses like that (and that horrid story about raisen and pita bread being used as a "host") that show the true impact of Modernism on our Holy Mother. How horrible that most don't even recognize the abuses. Theological dissidence leads to abberent behavior. See the posts above regards the many deviations from the Rubrics practiced regularly at Masses.

I've been to those, too. At one they gave awards to the schoolchildren.

Are they supposed to do that at mass? Really I wouldn't care; it's always cute when the kids do their thing. Really I love it, but if they aren't supposed to do it . . .
