Sr. Manners is Gossipy!

Although the column Sr. Manners Goes to Mass does catch my attention, it comes across to me as"uppity" and "gossipy." What is there such much emphasis on this impression that Sr. Manners has that everyone is trying to be the center of attention? I was instructed that we are to make a gesture of reverence before receiving communion. Bow, genuflect, or the sign of the cross. Is that incorrect? I pray on my way up to communion and focus on theLord. If someone wants to joyfully sing, great. I show reverence differently. The column is becoming a turn-off for me. Kindness and patience go a long way in regards to mothers with children in tow. Glares and rude comments are not loving. So you miss a few sentences ofthe sermon...so what? Please quit focusing on the externals and quit judging the intentions of Catholics who are trying to show reverence and love for Jesus.
