Healing Mass

Has anyone seen this before?? I went to a Healing Mass last Sunday. It's a normal mass except after mass the priests stayed up at the front and people went up to be prayed on. You know on TV where the Protestant ministers slap people in the head and then they fall back? Well, there was no slapping going on but a lot of people were falling (the altar boys were there catching people). It was really really weird. There was one filipino priest in particular who had the parishioners dropping like flies. And everybody was so nonchalant about it except for me, who still doesn't know what to make of this.
