Our Office of Divine Worship explains why the faithful should refrain from extending their hands during the Our Father at Mass:
"Further, the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, states that “no other person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority.” (SC 22.3) Since the GIRM is very specific that the priest is instructed by the GIRM (152) to extend his hands when he prays the Lord’s Prayer, for the deacons or the laity to extend their hands would be adding to the liturgy. Therefore, the practice of the lay faithful extending their hands (or holding hands) during the Our Father should not be done."

Why are daily masses near me at 9am? How is anyone who works a normal job supposed to go? Why is first Friday confession at 930am? Am I crazy or is this not setting up the faithful for failure?
Spain was ruled by Mohammedans for almost 800 years before they were finally pushed out. Why would you doom over one election?
Reminder that John Adams and George Washington said we’d only be able to keep the republic if we remained a Christian people. Reminder that the Bible says when you turn from him he punishes you through your rulers.
I miss Virginia, truly forever my home. Pray the Catholics there will succeed today in stopping these evil constitutional amendments.
My wife being a normie (most the time) is truly a Gift. I just deal with the stray “the moon landings fake” every once in a while.
My hot take of the day is I find the death of ornate vestments and beautiful vessels to be an egregious offense. It is not a sign of humility, instead, it signals pride.

Please pray for a friend’s baby who is being taken off life support today
One must walk the fine line between rage baiting and comedy gold. One is a sin the other gets written in a theology book in 50 years.
So, is our federal annual budget deficit solely because of fraud? Is that what I’m learning? Do you know how many space lasers we could have built instead?
Going to run for president on the sole platform of requiring every home have a statue of the Blessed Mother by their front door.
If we are bringing in Indians, we’ve dramatically reduced their numbers btw, they should only be Catholic Indians.
When republican politicians get arrested it’s usually for something boring like tax fraud. When dem politicians get arrested, it seems to be for the most outlandish things possible. I think this is the third gun trafficking charge of seen lmao.
Finding out that I’m actually a weirdo for paying attention to the circuit dockets and SCOTUS after graduating law school. I mean, I get it, but I just thought this one was a normal thing.
