their Bishops and the Pope no longer require and or allow you to:
Fast 3 hours before mass

Catholics aren't allowed to fast three hours before Mass? Really?

By the way, are you aware that the reduction of the fast to three hours was an innovation of Pope Pius XII? It was. Before then, Catholics were all obligated to fast from midnight. Perhaps you should modify your polemics some, because presenting the three hour fast as a "tradition" is laughable.

Kneel to receive the sacred species

I receive Holy Communion kneeling. This practice is certainly allowed by the Pope: "Therefore, it is not licit to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful solely on the grounds, for example, that the person wishes to receive the Eucharist kneeling or standing." (Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, §91).

Check your GIRM-you are in VIOLATION, not allowed to kneel, if your Bishop wanted he could deny you communion!
