oh my we are in deep kimchee, the devil has strengthened his filthy little hand in the vatican.
Anne, I have been watching my priest and I can tell you this, I am changing churches to a real Catholic church this Sunday.
Pope Francis has already tripped twice that I’ve seen and I don’t even watch that much coverage. Just possibly he has difficulty genuflecting. I do too, and our parish priest said a bow is fine; one just needs to show respect.
He is perfectly physically sound.
Is he? He's a 76 year old man. Can he physically genuflect, especially the number of times he will be expected to?
Second, what is the traditional South American ritual at that point in the mass? Do they bow or genuflect?
Failure to conform to forms isn't necessarily a spiritual failing ~
If this lady is so upset about it then she needs to kneel twice next time she goes to Mass.
Ann needs to calm down a bit.
Barnhart is simply determined to hate this pope.
I’m sure they will love her at the SSPX.

Ms. Barnhardt,
I think they need to up your dosage. This is the very sort of thing that the lefties point at and laugh about when they say that the right is full of incoherent derp.
If Mel Gibson’s dad wasn’t already married and pushing 100 years of age, I’d swear Ann was angling for a date with him.
Thank you for this E.
I believe Ann is absolutely correct; I have been grieving Pope Benedict’s decision, I believe he was deceived and tricked by satan to resign. He may not have even realized what he was saying. People should shut the hell up. And now we have a demon for pope: I will not capitalize either satan or the current pope.
Deep, deep trouble? Really. You sound a little like Obama on the sequester.
Anne, now tell us what you think about Christ hanging out with whores and tax collectors....
I am going to cut the Pope some slack on this considering his age, but I have noticed over the years a decrease in genuflecting in front of the Tabernacle by priests, altar servers, and the general population. The fact that it is no longer a requirement to genuflect or kneel before receiving the Holy Eucharist is aiding in this mindset. My knees aren’t the greatest, but I genuflect as far down as I can go when entering and exiting my pew and when I walk past the altar where Jesus is. I also go down on two knees when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed. It hurts like the dickens, and sometimes I have trouble getting up again, but as long as I can, I will.
he has one lung and pins in his knee. Ann is getting ocd
Ah, plug it up, lady.
The guy is not a young man. I wonder how many older people struggle silently in church because they don’t want to make a scene. I know that my mom did.
I’ve had many friends visit my church who weren’t Catholic (funerals, weddings) and they thought that it was some kind of exercise class.
