    This way of swinging the thurible is specific to the Anglican/Episcopalian tradition, for those who don't know. No, they don't do it that way in a Catholic Mass; just a different tradition.

      @@Tre86Q You are correct that this practice isn't specific to Episcopal or Anglican-Use Catholic Parishes. Stylistically, it might be done differently in RC parishes (Usually a "360") however it is done - usually as a high ceremonial point. When it goes wrong, however, it really goes wrong. 360's are also done in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches that follow the Byzantine Tradition.

      Only boys can or should be alter boys, because they are supposed to follow in the footsteps of the priest. And the priest as called to a celebet and chaste life, is the groom of the church. Therefor a girl could not at all be an alter boy as it goes against who the priest is. Call me sexist, the truth is that is tradition in the Catholic Church and no one should change it.

      True enough. At the same time, praise and worship can take an infinite number of forms. If the 360° swings enhance the joy and richness of the liturgy in the honor of God, why deride the practice? Some denominations (e.g., the Church of Christ) forbid the playing of musical instruments in worship because they believe instrumental music distracts the faithful.
