 This used to be true until the Modern Rite (Novus Ordo) introduced the "sign of peace" AFTER the consecration. Now Fr. Bob walks around, hand open, shaking any hand that comes his way. #Catholic

I've never been to a mass yet where the celebrant leaves the altar during the sign of peace, even the one time I attended the most progressive hippy dippy church in our archdiocese.

Not necessary anymore since we use mechanically produced hosts, only crumbs come from fraction, and those fall on the patten.

I have used homemade hosts before, and it made me see why that practice was necessary back then. Crumbs everywhere!
