and one part which I despise is any time there's a baptism or something of that nature when the people are asked to applaud. Frankly, I just don't think that applause is correct during Holy Mass.
Agree 100%, that is a huge pet peeve of mine. I wish Priests would save the
"And let's give a round of applause to Wolseley for donating his time to fix the organ" until immediately after the the dismissal. I would take no issue with a "The Mass has ended, go in peace to love and serve the Lord...after we clap for Wolseley, who fixed the organ at no cost to us!" The points at which the liturgy begins and ends are clear. As far as I'm concerned, anywhere outside of those points, including immediately outside of them, anything goes. Inside of them, hands off!
