If no one says anything, they will keep testing. However, I don't think neighbor in the pew would ever say anything, but they may be thinking something. That could be the ushers job. It would be interesting to do anonymous polls to ask people's opinion, then reveal those opinions so people can be heard. I think Survey Monkey does something like this. qwiknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439450727837308035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-69329215223864004382015-06-13T09:54:55.210-04:002015-06-13T09:54:55.210-04:00Carol, Buy a cooler down to the Wal Mart.

We were at a church in a different diocese where they use thick, heavy Hosts, and her mouth was dry and she began to gag on the Host. After that, she had a fear of going to Communion that I feared would never go away. So, for the next year or so, every time I took her to Mass, I brought a small water bottle so she could drink it right after Communion to make sure she got the Host down. I didn't need hydration--I was just trying to stop a problem before it became a bigger problem.Robert Kumpelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567786012498143419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-44382237218037892402015-06-12T09:59:28.007-04:002015-06-12T09:59:28.007-04:00Lefebvrian,

These were also given by a parishioner in memory of a loved one and these chairs aren't cheap and I won't scandalize you by telling you how much these cost 10 years ago. I was not please with them from day one, especially their size and these are heavy and difficult to move when needed. <br /><br />But they are confortable and have grown on me. Fr. Allan J.
