As a Protestant...
For any non-Catholics out there who are still tuned in as we Catholics (and Anglicans, Lutherans and other liturgical Christians) argue about the right way to do things... ;) Coming from a non-Catholic background myself and teaching adults who come into the Church from other faith traditions, I...- Deacon Jason

Once @Tincatinker solves the footwear holy wars, then he can begin to address the rain-wear factionalism and the walking stick partisanship! ;) Seriously, though also a thank you to Tinca and the other mods...we cats are in at least a loosely structured herd, which makes this forum a joy to...- Deacon Jason

As a Protestant...
I certainly can't speak for everyone, but for myself I am always very interested in the perspectives of people coming from other faith traditions...though I may not subscribe to their theology, I recognize that each tradition has built up a unique perspective on human nature (often over many...- Deacon Jason

Castilian, Thank you for your clarity. What you describe is not too different from the common practice in my little corner of the U.S. In my own parish, while I actively try to ignore who is coming or going (one can never know the reason, etc.), I do notice that what was a 3/4 full church at...- Deacon Jason

All of the small differences are interesting...in a Catholic parish, having your hands by your sides in the communion line is the universal sign for 'I only go to church once or twice a year and am not sure what the heck to do'. A common signal given around Christmas and Easter ;)- Deacon Jason

As a Protestant...
The arms and blessings are an American thing (maybe an Anglophone thing? ) that is becoming more common elsewhere.

As a Protestant...
Very true! It is participation of the heart that is the ultimate goal, while 'external' participation is simply an assistance to making that connection. As someone who was not raised Catholic and found my faith as an adult, at first the questions of when to sit and when to stand were more of a...- Deacon Jason

As a Catholic deacon, when I saw the original question I got excited and thought "finally something I know about!" Then I see a priest beat me to the answers...story of my life ;) Seriously, though, a great and thoughtful discussion. I would add only the following thoughts: The vast majority...- Deacon Jason
