Furthermore, according to church reports, the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference the text of the mass book will change, so it is not just usual practice that will change for the duration of the epidemic. The purpose of the amendment is to avoid a handshake, so far this has been done as follows: when the ceremony comes to an end, the priest who has presented the Mass so far has said that

Greet each other with a peace sign.

By the time the believers answered that

May there be peace between us at all times!

After that, everyone shook hands with someone close. Instead of this last dialogue, the priest says to the believers:

Be reconciled with one another from the heart.

This was also reported by Szemlélek valuagazin and 444: a priest from Győr, for example, told his followers at Sunday Mass that the amendment had been ordered by a territorially competent bishop, András Veres, with immediate effect and binding force in the Diocese. Győr, but the portals also stated that
