Next, I hope he brings back kneeling for those who are able. I know Benedict is a big fan of it. Our diocese does this “standing during communion” thing. It feels weird. So I kneel. People must think I’m nuts. I wonder how common this standing deal is? Here’s Benedict on the theology of kneeling: http://www.tldm.org/News8/PopeBenedictXVITheologyOfKneeling.htm

They do it in Orange County. Bishop Tod Brown first said they were in mortal sin for not obeying him because they wouldn't stand during the Agnus Dei, only kneel. Second, he invited these people to leave the diocese.

Wow, what a lunatic!

Our bishop, who is not retired, told us to stand but the pastor said it was OK to kneel. So I do. Most people stand. But a lot kneel after communion.
