I would suggest it's not the NO Mass that is the source of the irreverence, but the lack of proper catechisis in the last 50 years. If today we had only the Latin Mass and the same abysmal catechisis, I would venture to say one would still see 1-10 at Mass.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776273761641941474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-11015391920617411812014-05-22T21:46:44.718+01:002014-05-22T21:46:44.718+01:00Not self appointed Anon, just an ordinary Catholic...Not self appointed Anon, just an ordinary Catholic loyal to the doctrines and teachings of Christ and the magisterium.<br />But I am not afraid to use my name, perhaps you might like to pluck up courage and do the same?Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-42187236546197334922014-05-22T21:21:23.867+01:002014-05-22T21:21:23.867+01:00I don't know who this Richard Collins is.

Reverence for the Blessed Sacrament should be obvious to most Catholics who believe in the real presence, but let's not try to be more "Catholic" than the teaching authority of the Church. Besides, when we receive the Holy Eucharist reverently we become living tabernacles after Mass. Hardly necessary to genuflect after Mass when you are walking out with our Lord within you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-64901557609932535382014-05-22T16:45:41.037+01:002014-05-22T16:45:41.037+01:00At the NO parish I occasionally attend, No 1 is no...At the NO parish I occasionally attend, No 1 is not a problem since they removed the Tabernacle to a side room and it isn't visible to anyone in the pews.

In the Roman Catholic Church, as founded by Our Blessed Lord, the correct manner of entering one's pew or passing i front of a tabernacle containing the True Presence, is to genuflect as completely as you are able.<br />It is perfectly right that you bow...the True Presence is absent from your Church. I do not mean that in any pejorative sense, just stating a fact.

A few people can set the example but the are all but invisible compared to the vast majority who do all that you list above. Eventually those who try to set a good example get reprimanded by the pastor or other high level professional Catholic. Most would welcome the quiet reverence of the TLM but have either been lied to or are ignorant of the benefits._https://www.blogger.com/profile/03082830088555849542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-62038207549202066532014-05-18T08:47:41.291+01:002014-05-18T08:47:41.291+01:00Thanks Genty, that's my experience at every NO...Thanks Genty, that's my experience at every NO Mass I go to.Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-44350459154547855792014-05-18T03:32:20.388+01:002014-05-18T03:32:20.388+01:00Thank you Petrus.Thank you Petrus.Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-1623895804225660002014-05-17T23:32:31.529+01:002014-05-17T23:32:31.529+01:00Rule 1 can't be applied literally, unless ever...Rule 1 can't be applied literally, unless everyone walks out of church backwards, as people used to do when leaving the Sovereign's presence.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-30758362527671889662014-05-16T21:43:10.077+01:002014-05-16T21:43:10.077+01:00Well said Richard!Well said Richard!Pétrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539025631125425710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-51613349524320622442014-05-16T21:08:55.344+01:002014-05-16T21:08:55.344+01:00Off-topic, but thank you for putting up the beauti...Off-topic, but thank you for putting up the beautiful posts about Catherine of Aragon and her confessor, Fr Forest.
