[Salvation]

I am so fortunate that in a Novus Ordo Mass our priest follows exactly what you have taught your daughter -- we remain kneeling until everything is cleared off the altar and the priest is seated. THEN -- we can sit down!

Yes, you are. When we were leaving mass one day, by the side door through a kitchenette, I saw the wooden salad bowl ciborium, filled with remaining consecrated hosts left by the sink, uncovered, for dust and flies to land on, or for anyone of evil intent to desecrate.

When I brought this to the attention of a Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (because the priest was at the other door shaking hands) I got a "so what's the big deal" look.

we remain kneeling until everything is cleared...

It's nice that your parish church still has kneelers. I trust your pastor doesn't allow Dan Schutte's music ("Here I am Lord" etc.) because of the implicit humanistic and homosexual agenda in those songs as published by the Oregon "Catholic" Press.
