> Now I become somewhat annoyed when I go to church and only half the people are kneeling at certain times, mainly because I think people don't know when to keel and get up anymore. It's funny ow people respond to different things.
>They probably don't, but they are at least there to worship God and some can't kneel or stand very long because of a physical ailment like myself. I lie down most of the time due to chronic back pain as a result of being struck by a truck over 20 years ago. That is the major reason why I don't attend Mass on a regular basis anymore. I do my praying at home lying down. In fact, I am lying down right now using a laptop to write this post.
> I think the purpose of the Latin mass was to be used as a unifyer for Catholics - that you could go to Germany or Mozambique and attend mass and still know what was going on. I find that concept so interesting.
That makes sense only if you understand Latin.
God Bless.
