Hancle,

..At our church, here in Pa. the people do the same thing..

They come during the Gospel, and leave Mass after they leave the altar with the Communion in hand..I have seen some NON-Catholics go up to the altar and put the host in their pockets..OMG

Last week, Father found a host in one of the song books..What a shame!!

Our Pastor asks every week, that people do not leave till he exits the church..They continue to do the same thing week after week..

Some have their cell phones ringing during mass..Father always says "There is no reason for your phones to be on during Mass, your only concern right now should be God, and He is not going to call you on a cell phone"

It is amazing how people behave in church..

If people don't want to be there, and cannot spare an hour, why do they go???
