Every Wednesday, I take my kids to church for Faith Formation classes, from 6:30 until 7:45 pm. We've been going for years, and even as a less than loyal attendee, I can admit with some pride that even though it's for the kids, I've learned quite a bit and do enjoy our priest's sermons. His name is Fr. Richard Trout, and he's a soft spoken, yet humorous, well rounded man of the cloth.
What irks me is the texting, ringing phones, unnecessary chatter, and swinging of the rosary beads like bordello trash. But I'm not talking about the kids- It's the parents. I'm not kidding. It's quite annoying to see such a flagrant disrespect for the house of God, and in such abundance. It happens every week, and it's the same perps each time. I'm not going to rant too much though, because quite simply, there's not much that can be said other than "grow up"- take a hint from your better-behaved kids. You could all learn a thing or two about manners, not to mention respect. It's not that hard, shut up, sit down, pay attention, have faith. Oh, and leave the phones in your soccer-mom over sized SUV, because God prefers 'knee'mail to e-mail.
