A Question for Catholics
When is the Mass over?
I ask, because I have observed, after living more than 10 years in TV and attending all of the area's Roman Catholic Churches, that a large number of Catholics arrive late and leave Mass during or, immediately after Communion.
What is the reason for this? I don't understand. Do they all have medical or rest room problems? Is it that, their exit from parking lots and early arrival at restaurants is of greater importance than an hour spent with their Lord and Savior. I thought that retirees now have plenty of time for the important things in their lives that they coudn't do when they were working full time and raising a family.
Those that remain in Church, will always hear the Priest or Deacon announce when The Mass is over and courtesy should dictate that parishioners not leave, untill the Priest has exited the Church
I am not trying to be judgemental, that is God's job, but wonder how will He respond to this behavior? :dontknow: :dontknow: :dontknow:
