Should Applause Take Place at Mass?
Q. Should applause take place during Mass?
A. No, applause is not proper during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for any reason except at Ordination Masses. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a solemn occasion, and applause is not proper for the Mass, which is the Sacrifice of Calvary.
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (future Pope Benedict XVI) states:
"Wherever applause breaks out in the liturgy (Mass), because of some human achievement, it is a sure sign that the essence of liturgy has totally disappeared and been replaaced by a kind of religious entertainment."
Pope Pius X states:
"It is not fitting that the servant be applauded in His Master's House."
Hab. 2:20: "But the Lord is in His holy temple, silence before Him, all the earth!" Zeph 1:7: "Silence in the presence of the Lord your God!"
