“genuflecting to Rome”

I’m not sure what you mean by that, but I am quite certain that any such genuflecting went the way of the Borgias some centuries ago, and was in any case political rather than spiritual in nature.

We genuflect to Our Lord, not to a city, nor an institution, nor mortal man.

As Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen famously said, “There are not a hundred people in America who hate the Catholic Church—but there are millions who hate what they mistakenly think the Catholic Church teaches.”

Metaphorical, of course.

We genuflect to Our Lord, not to a city, nor an institution, nor mortal man

So you say. These pages tell a different story. Give up the late and fanciful inventions of this Rome you now disclaim, and return to the simplicity of God's written word, and I will believe you.
