Cell-phones ringing during Mass.  This is a pet-peeve of mine. I understand that it is easy to forget (which is why I’ve made a habit of  leaving mine in the car).  I understand that some people are on-call and that is excusable, but at least have the courtesy to put it on vibrate!

My Aunt’s cell-phone went off during both my Grandma and my Grandpa’s funerals and it was playing “Super Freak” by Rick James (not the most appropriate ring-tone for a funeral service). Once I could understand, but twice this happened (and just a week apart?)

I was on jury-duty this past week and one of the first things they told us is to “turn all cell phones off.” Our former parish priest would request the same, prior to the Liturgy, and I think it is something all parishes should consider doing. Just a thought.

Am I being too harsh? Post a comment.
