A procession processes, Katie; it doesn't shuffle along like a cinema queue while you concentrate on trying not to trip over the person in front.
You poor thing, do you get stuck behind some poor soul who may have served your parish well, may still be serving, and walks to slowly for you? Would you have been annoyed to be behind the old gentleman in our parish, El Alamein veteran, holder of the Military Cross, shuffling on his walking frame? He died a few years ago. The memory of seeing him, manfully walking up that aisle, bowing as deeply as he was able, to the Body of Christ, remains with me. You may be next.

When we had altar rails, there was a requirement for courtesy to "people who shuffle along. We walked at a slow pace, behind them.

Catholic and proud of it!
Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards
