[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OPs "very devout" parents never taught her this simple rule about crossing the arms for a blessing?[/quote]

While it is probably the best solution for OP in her particular situation, the whole “crossed arms = blessing” in the “communion procession” is a [b]fairly recent innovation as things go, [/b]and not necessarily something her parents would’ve taught her. [/quote]

It started in the late 80s by Dale Fushek, so about 40 years ago. [/quote]

Here is the former (ex-communicated) Father Fushek's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Fushek

It includes this: In February 2010, the Diocese of Phoenix announced that based on an investigation by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pope Benedict XVI approved a "decree of dismissal" laicizing Fushek.[10] According to church law, the congregation is responsible for addressing "sexual sins" perpetrated by priests and deacons against minors. Fushek chose not to participate or defend himself in the process.[11]

and later, this: ... In late 2007, Fushek and former priest Mark Dippre established a non-denominational Christian assembly called the Praise and Worship Center. Services started at Thanksgiving 2007 and have attracted between 500 and 700 people[14] to the Center in Chandler, Arizona. ...On December 15, 2008, the Bishop of Phoenix, Thomas J. Olmsted, [b]issued a decree of excommunication against Fushek[/b] and Dippre. A statement issued by the Diocese of Phoenix said that Fushek and Dippre incurred the censure of excommunication because they chose to be in schism with the Catholic Church by establishing and leading an opposing ecclesial community known to the public as the Praise and Worship Center. Both priests consistently refused to comply with explicit directions by Bishop Olmsted to discontinue engaging in public ministry.[/quote]
