First of all, I never said the people saluted Adolph Hitler. I said they gave what was identical to the Nazi salute. Second, he did not stop the whole novena. He stopped the day that coincided with the Immaculate Conception. Third..it was not appended to the Mass as far as I could tell..they probably would have met there after Mass but it would in no way have interfered with anyone. There is something about breaking up a novena that does not appeal to the superstitious part of me, as well as insulting, from the altar, a whole group of people and one of their main religious qualities, namely, devotion to Lady of Guadalupe. It was not necessary, it was not nice and others I talked with, of non-Mexican descent, were appalled as well. And I must say I don't understand why people have to talk in church after Mass..they could wait until they got to the vestibule so I don't understand the rosary thing. mg
