John DaFiesole writes on the experience of being shamed into shaking hands immediately before Mass: "to shake hands in this way ... to 'greet Christ in one another' strikes me as, what's the word, cant. I wouldn't intentionally greet Christ with a handshake and a smile, then turn away and ignore Him for the rest of Mass. What we do, if anything, is to greet one another in Christ, isn't it?"
