"Every head will bow, every knee will bend." Little by little they have destroyed the Reverence that must be present when you Receive The Holy Eucharist.

I don't know if this destruction of Reverence is done for a reason or not, but it should be stopped, if it can be stopped at this point

1st Council of Nicea. Canon 20

Since there are some who kneel on Sunday and during the season of Pentecost, this holy synod decrees that, so that the same observances may be maintained in every diocese, one should offer one's prayers to the Lord standing.

What happened between that Council and the time when kneelers were placed in all the Churches throughout the land? Which Council, decree maker, admonishment advisor following or preceeding the Council got the kneeling part wrong?

I'll heed Scipture's 'Every head must bow, and every knee must bend' while the Councils continue to deliberate which is right and which is wrong. Which is proper and which is not.

Mother Angelica thinks taking the kneelers out is stupid too, and she advises all to kneel no matter that they are gone. Scripture first, Councils second.
