Thread Name: BS: Do you need to be censered?
Subject: RE: BS: Do you need to be censered?
I got to Catholic church, and it uses the absolute minimum of incense. Anything more, and the people with asthma will raise the roof.
I don't believe a word of that stuff about incense being used to cover up the smell of people. When you mix sweet smells and bad smells, the result is worse than either one alone.
Keep in mind that for centuries, many people lived lives of drudgery, misery and boredom. Church was one of the most interesting places to be, and incense was just another way to make church special.
Joe: I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the new music director. Maybe now there will be two Catholic churches in the country with good music, not just one.
