I don't believe in "church hopping" either but I do believe that you need to feel comfortable with the person giving the sermon and leading the congregation. Along with the fact that you need to feel comfortable with the parish people. At our old church there were no little ones and we always got dirty looks from the people (inlcuding the priest) when Noah made noise during the service. Too me that is not welcoming or comforting. But now we are in a parish that has many young families and the priest will comment on the young ones that might be talking out in church by saying "I believe they have something to add!"
