I have noticed that people now refuse to hold hands during the Communion Rite, and it bothers me that when I was a child, people in the Catholic Church do hold hands like one big family does. It is a tradition, but as time goes by, people refuse to abide. In our province, people still do that, but in other urban areas and populated regions, things have changed. I have just been observing this situation ever since I studied far away from home. What can you say about this?

Yes, I also noticed that.We are the same. When I was still a kid I am very passionate to go to church and I even did attend bible studies during Sundays. The organizer in the church encouraged me to join to their kiddie choir since I always bible studies and other religious works so I joined because that was my wish since then. And as always in the church I do notice all the praying behaviors of every individuals. I do notice there are different ways of priests also most especially during communions.

Well in my city people in Catholic Church always hold hands and this will never change,so perhaps you miss the scene people still do it,further more,in the church no one will refuse the hands holding.
