Why can't Parishioners know when to shut up?

What do you imagine Jesus meant when He said "My Father's House shall be a House of Prayer" ?

Is it people singing and dancing and clapping and talking to everyone but God ? *sigh*

That doesn't even sound like praise and worship . There are places and times for it , certainly, but Mass is not that time . The minute you step inside the sanctuary is when you should be quiet out of respect for everyone else and most certainly God Our Father .

So should we act in reverence and not as imbeciles.

Listen to Mary Rose from True Confessions of a Prodigal Daughter speak on how I think {most catholics} feel about all the chatter and clamor that goes on before and after Mass .

Why Can't Parishioners Know When To Shut Up?

I said:

There is always other areas to chat and it seems as though the only quiet place is in the little side room where they have placed the monstrance (Jesus) .

We need Jesus to be put back in His place .

Front and Center of the Sanctuary then maybe people will shut up and give us peace.

It is a house of prayer!

I go to church to hear God not to socialize , and don't get me going on about cell phones ....uggggh *sigh*

I don't like clapping , drums, shaking hands , lining up for communion without genuflecting and communion in the hand .

Sorry protestants but that looks a lot like your services

You can never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.
