Should babies be aloud at Mass??

[Armagh4SamAgain]

I think every chapel should have a specal room to leave them in with toys or even a video. Its hard to consentrate when theres crying babies all around you. it must put the priest of to

[lynchbhoy]

nah - if you are concentrating hard enough on your prayers or what the priest is saying, you dont really hear them.

A soundproof kids/family room is a good idea (assists those with lesser powers of concentration)
but not every place can fit one in.

as you do enough whinging now, I can only imagine you did a fair bit of whining as a baby and folk obv tolerated yerself

This morning at the start of mass, the priest walked up onto the alter and discovered that the microphone was not working, so he said "there is something wrong here"

And the congregation replied "and also with you"

Babies should not be aloud in Mass. Little gags should be distributed at the doors.

ALOUD/ALLOWED

If you think Grandma allowed the kids to eat too much ice cream, you'd better not say so aloud, or her feelings will be hurt.
"Aloud" means "out loud" and refers to sounds (most often speech) that can be heard by others. But this word is often misused when people mean "allowed," meaning "permitted."

The children are already aloud - the question should be "Should babies be allowed" at mass, surely?

Did you have a bad experience at Mass this morning Armagh4SamAgain?

[Turlough O Carolan]

No, they should be a-prayin.

[Pangurban]

True or not Orior, that is very funny

  No I have to agree with AFSA, the chapel i go to hasn't one but two of those quiet rooms for kids
  and not one of them is used, i keep moving further up to the front and have even attended masses
  at different times to get away from it but I'll swear they follow me,
  It is distracting.

Try going to a different parish. Some parishs have more babies than others and only catholic babies count cause the other ones dont go to mass

If it was good enought for Jesus then its good enought for us
