i am a catholic and i go to church during sundays to hear the mass. however ,since its christmas season, we have the tradition of attending 9 orning masses before christmas. and this morning i was trully botheed seeing a lot of teenagers outside the church pretending to hear the mass but actually just chatting with their friends, cuddling with their boyfriend, smoking, eating, etc. i know it's none of my business , but it is indeed disturbing. you couldnt concentrate.its annoying. how can we stop these? have you ever encountered heses instances?

Oh yes. I think its because that the church elders are tolerating these kind of activities in our modern age. We were brought up to listen to the sermon however boring and painful it is. I carry that lesson up to now. I guess these kids don't carry with them the same philosophy as we does.
