The church Biden was was indoctrinated into as a child (me too) did not do "touchy feely" at Mass. I've met very few people my age who have ever really warmed to the "sign of peace" thing (which generally means a limp handshake and a spoken "Peace be with you&quot .

That's false. Irish Catholics are known for NOT being touchy feely. Biden is more pnwmom Apr 2019 #12

That "blatant, deliberate contact" during Mass is a HANDSHAKE. nt pnwmom Apr 2019 #13
