Summary: 

One netter's remark about how a Jewish girl appreciated a Catholic church
gave special help for those who didn't understand the service reminds me
of my own difficuly when attending Christian services (friends' weddings,
funerals, et al).

As a Jew, I have to be continually alert to say "Amen" at the penultimate
part of the prayer, just before the officiant says, "We ask it in Jesus'
name."   If I'm too late, I can't morally say "Amen" since I'm *NOT*
asking it like that.  (Obviously I whisper my amen, rather than shrieking
it out and disturbing the insider worshippers.)
