Welcome to the Catholic Hangout
Respect before mass
#4
I agree that we need to turn a "blind eye", because only God will make the final judgment of what I do and I need to be prepared for the consequences of everything I do (actions, inactions, thoughts, etc.). If I see someone doing something I do not agree with (as long as it is not hurting someone else), then I just say a prayer asking God to forgive my (and everyone's) naivety and to guide all to HIS will.

It's also one of the reasons I go to early morning mass (7:30am), because I see less of the behaviors I feel is wrong when at church.

On another note, I have heard many people apologize for not kneeling, because their knees don't work well. I usually tell the person that I believe that God is glad you did your best and came to worship HIM.

Again, all we can do is our best, and pray that God forgives our unintentional offenses.
