Was enjoying a 5 pm Sunday evening 1st Sunday of Advent (priest typically has 5 min sermons with a couple jokes mixed in and Mass done by 550)

Well a baw and his bawette roll in at 530 after sermon dressed to the 9s like they have a date at Red Lobster after Mass. Force a family of 5 to scoot to make room for them.

Do you really think you get partial credit for 20 mins? Every minute you miss is a tear from baby Jesus.

It was Sunday evening, so technically not a vigil. Edited.

Might be used to one of those "worship" churches that play pop Christian music for the first 30 minutes and figured no one would notice.

I got to meet a monk recently. I'm not catholic but he was a real cool dude. Thos guys are in church five or six times a day. What would they think of your cherrypicking the one short mass of the week?

hopefully he self flagellated to remove any excess guilt then promptly confessed for his sins

Why are you worried about other people. Better they go for the last 30 minutes than not at all no?

They have started a bunch of protestant bullshite at several churches I've been to, and I like to skip all that. Standing to shake hands with the stranger next to you. frick that shite. We're catholic. If I wanted fellowship, I'd go to mass on Wednesday nights with the other men with haircuts that are too perfect and eat pot-luck casseroles made with mustard powder, cream of mushroom and pillsbury crescent rolls. But I'm not. And these so-called catholic churches also do the thing where they send the kids up for the kids' sermon and they ask the parishioners to stretch their arms out and close their eyes to pray for the kids. I can't think of something more protestant. Bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Catholics don't believe in that bullshite. We believe in real shite, like transubstantiation. Don't get me started on how they changed the words to everything. I'm not giving in on that. frick that and frick showing up 30 minutes early, or what you've described as "on time."
