what i dont like about going to church

1. long homily. it is long for me once it lasts longer than 10 minutes.

i think this is an easy way to discourage people to attend mass or at least, lose their attentiveness and just receive mumbling and whispering instead of grateful singing for the rest of the mass. and it's not really something the Church wants to happen.

2. priests who invent tune just to 'sing' prayers and blessings. this doesn't help especially when... ...there's such a thing as RECITING WELL. though singing is regarded as a higher form of praise, if it's like this, then please, spare us (or ME!) from having to listen to your sleep-inducing tune.

...it contributes to making the mass even more boring than it has already become after listening to the boring homily.

3. endless introduction of new church songs and reworking on the tunes of the old ones. i don't get why they have to constantly change the tunes people are already accustomed to. really. the introduction of new songs, at least, is more acceptable. but please stick with the old tunes!!!

4. people who walk SO sloooow going out of the church. hello!!! there are a lot of people who still have to look for a seat because the mass is about to start in 20 seconds (which should have been 5 minutes, only if it weren't for the priest who truly unneccesarily sang almost every line of prayer until the end of the mass, not to mention his uber long homily).

and this happens every single week. please, this is like the remaining evidence of my barely surviving christian faith. let it survive, at least if you care for your fella. talk less, sing the same songs, and walk faster!
