When someone asks you, "You’ve been to a Mass where people were smoking cigarettes and marijuana?" and you respond "Yes" that is called lying, Viva. You have never seen someone smoking marijuana at Mass.
I’ll concede it IS possible she has seen or at least smelled pot on someone at Mass. I’ve never seen or smelled it, but I’ve seen some pretty bizarre and bad behavior, mainly in a novus ordo church, but a few times in a traditional setting as well.
1) Woman in front of me wearing low cut jeans, midriff top, and top of sequined thong underpants displayed on her backside
2) Woman with two iguanas in a vented duffle bag. She took them out one at a time to sit on her lap and stroke their dewlaps during Miraculous Medal devotions.
3) Man entered during mass, scooped up handfuls from large Holy Water bowls to drink, then washed his face and wet his hair
4) Man sat in back of side altar where Blessed Sacrament was kept and proceeded to eat his McDonald’s meal
No’s. 1-4 were in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NY. No’s 3-4 were caught and escorted out by ushers/security. No’s 1-2 weren’t caught.
5) Man suddenly pulled out digital camera (pre-smartphone day’s) and began walking up and down snapping pictures in people’s faces and right behind and to the side of the sanctuary as Fr. was saying Mass. He was taken outside by a male parishioner who happened to be a plainclothes police officer. This was at a traditional chapel where there were infiltrators looking to capitalize on an incident that had occurred about a decade beforehand. It was a mess. I don’t know how it was resolved, but they did not succeed in destroying the chapel. I just couldn’t cope with the atmosphere and stress, so I heard Mass every three weeks or so after a two and a half hour drive. Frankly, it would have been a lot less harmful to souls had a few people stood outside the door and smoked marijuana!
