At one point, when newcomers and visitors were welcomed, congregants laughed and started applauding until Biden stood up. Then everyone stood up for sustained applause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">This adds to my list of why I hate Pastors asking about visitors.  I once tweeted that I was tempted to stand up and say that I was visiting from Mars in hope this would discourage them.  We go from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Calvary to a lounge room act in short order as they ask about visitors, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. <\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">For a group a Catholics to applaud a pro-abortion Catholic and soon to be Vice President and part of the probably the most extreme pro-abortion administration ever is beyond the pale.  Applause just does not belong as part of the Mass, but when it celebrates a minion of Moloch it becomes a participation in evil. Bad enough that he is given Communion in the first place.  Nothing like an act of sacrilege to start your week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article\">&#8220;Wherever applause breaks out in the liturgy because of some human achievement, it is a sure sign that the essence of liturgy has totally disappeared and been replaced by a kind of religious entertainment.&#8221; Ratzinger &#8220;Spirit of the Liturgy&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlines like Applause for Biden interrupts Catholic church service Another article gives more details.
