Can’t do it, can you? The novus ordo priests do turn their backs on God and put themselves between you and Our Lord.

Doesn’t that bother a tiny part of you? How about a pope placing a cheap beachball alongside the tabernacle. The same pope who won’t genuflect before a tabernacle.

“Can’t do it, can you?”

Again, why would I have to show something I never claimed? I would rather simply spend my time showing your inability to make an argument, but you’re doing an excellent job of that already. Thanks!

“The novus ordo priests do turn their backs on God and put themselves between you and Our Lord.”

No, since God is omnipresent no one can put himself between me and Him. This is especially true granted that I, as a baptized Christian, have God dwelling in me - just as the Church teaches. Perhaps you deny that teaching or are simply ignorant of that as you seem to be of so many other Catholic things. Also, any Catholic who actually know anything about the faith (and that would leave you out apparently) many basilicas (and I mean ancient and medieval basilicas) have altars which mean no matter what Mass is said the priest will sooner or later in the Mass according to your illogic “turn their backs on God and put themselves between you and Our Lord”.

“Doesn’t that bother a tiny part of you?”

Since I can think, and actually know God is omnipresent, and that basilicas’ very architectural structure mean someone was often on the “wrong” side of the altar, no, what you’re saying doesn’t bother me in the least because it doesn’t make any sense. Again, if you knew how to make an argument with some logic to it - apparently you don’t and can’t - you might be able to make a sensible point. That is, apparently, not the case at this time.

“How about a pope placing a cheap beachball alongside the tabernacle.”

I certainly wouldn’t do it, but men do wrong things all the time. You post. See? Everyone errs against God and reason.

“The same pope who won’t genuflect before a tabernacle.”

It seems to be more of a can’t rather than a won’t. Even his enemies admit he has suffers from osteoporosis and arthritis. I knew a traditionalist priest who could not genuflect because of arthritis so he placed a small stool in front of the altar so he could genuflect somewhat without his knee locking. He was in his late 70s. Francis is the same age.

Go on. Post the kitchen sink since you can’t make an actual argument.
