I have been hearing weird things about Catholicism in the U.S, like the host is given in the hand and not the mouth(!), mass is a social gathering with close to zero power (I attended one and I don't want to repeat the experience ever again, it was incredibly disrespectful to see people in it as if it was not a church but a school gym) and used as a formality for choir practice or some other thing and now priests not doing house blessings! What's next, an app where you get experience points every time you give money and are able to use it as points in the church store? I am not picking on the U.S, and I am sure it's not everywhere, but wow.
