I think there's another part that's also been skipped. Don't y'all put your hand into the dealybob of holy water before y'all cross yourselves or is that too old school?
Parking lot leaving etiquette seems to have included blinding the driver to any small kids that live in the neighborhood. If the kids live in the area they either learn to avoid areas where cars are leaving the parking lot after Mass or the Darwin effect applies. I'm happy to report that a huge nondenominational church moved into my neighborhood & in the leaving parking lot etiquette, they're fully Catholic compliant.
You’re absolutely right! There’s a dip and a crossing upon entering the church, the curtsy comes before entering the pew.
I go to an old school parish, there’s a sign saying a genuflection is expected of all the faithful.
I have failed in my attempt to fully capture the catholic experience. I am shamed.
The only question is whether it’s a venial sin I can pray away, or a mortal sin that must be burned off in purgatory. If it’s mortal, I’m having my the pockets of my funeral suit stuffed with hotdogs and marshmallows.
