#4 I go to mass weekly, the only time I see a phone is when someone uses it to keep a toddler from screeching. And that's in three different churches. Must be a South American or European thing then.

#5 Lots of college students at my church, a fair number gaze at those little screens during Mass. Rarely a raucous ring tone shatters the peace, usually an elder's phone that goes on and on and on while old fingers fumble to find the shut off switch. I visit a lot of churches, almost none have a sign in the vestible saying something like "Please turn off your cell phones" 500 years ago the problem was priests smoking cigars while they said Mass. It's always something.
