Translation: we had to hunt everywhere we could think of for days and days to find Toddy Kehoe, who hasn't been to church in years.
Comment: If you don't like being told what to do, Toddy my boy,
You'll fit right in!

>>Parishioner Toddy Kehoe told the Citizen, “Is that all they have to think about? I don’t see the Catholic Church as doing loving things.
“I don’t see them as the caring community they should be. It isn’t whether you stand or kneel.”<<
If Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared right there standing on the Altar, how concerned would this dude be about “community”?
Well He is there. Right there, on the Altar. Apparently, this man has no clue about that.
I don’t see how valid authority is not seen as “loving”.
...if they don’t like it the Episcopal/Unitarian churches are right down the street...
WWJD? Would He care? Hel-loooow, padre - get a life.
oh how stiff necked His people have become. I wish I could receive on my knees like I used to. We have become so full of pride, even the smallest amount of humility seems to cause strife. get over it Catholics, or find another Church! We ARE WHO WE ARE, and we are the Church of Christ. I can’t imagine any catholic arguing against kneeling at the time of consecration, except those who do NOT realize it is not merely a symbol because of poor catechesis.
It's about time that bishops started showing their priests who's in charge!

Do you believe in the trinity?
I have been attending the Trinidine Mass on Sundays.
No shorts, no flip-flops, no shaking hands, no kids running around and eating, no laypersons distributing Holy Communion.
Just an hour of celebration and worship of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as I remember it.
What a joy!
We have the same thing at our Very traditional NO Holy Mass.
We kneel. A lot.
WWJD?
Jesus was obedient. He was so obedient that he atoned for our sins. He asked his Father if the cup could be passed, and when it wasn't he obeyed.
If Christ could be humble and obedient, I would think Catholics would be more than willing to be humble and obedient to their bishop's righteous **invitation**.
I greatly admire Catholics who practice **all** of their religion. I wish we had a nation filled to the brim with them.
I certainly think the Christ would notice you don’t recognize who HE is!
I don’t know about you, but I sure don’t feel worthy to STAND in the presence of the Lord Almighty!!!
On the other hand, one has to really wonder about Church Fathers who spend even one second of their day pondering such things, while at the same time you look around the world and (pardon the expression) Rome is Burning!
The Church isn't a democracy. Get over it. I don't get why people have a problem with kneeling. My archdiocese never changed from it being the norm. Those who don't kneel are considered the oddballs.
These quotes are simply quotes for ignorant Catholics, and sadly there are tons of them out there these days who don’t know the very basics of their faith.
You kneel during the consecration and should be kneeling the entire time once it occurs until the Eucharists have been placed away. During that time you are in the presence of Jesus himself according to Catholic doctrine and do not be kneeling unless physically unable to do so is disrespectful.
Its really nothing more difficult than that.

I think some of our Bishops are as wishy washy as our political head honcho in D.C.
Hoo-ray for the “radicals” among us!
Spot on!
