The reporter said he was prostrating himself "before" the bishop, not "to" the bishop. There's a difference.

But just between you and me, I think we Catholics know what our ordinations mean, and don't need either you or a reporter to tell us, in any case.

Have you ever actually been to a Catholic ordination? I'm pretty sure you haven't. I have. I think I and other Catholics are better authorities on the ceremonies of our faith than you are.

Personally, I don’t care one iota about your Ordinances. I only care about the living, breathing God and not man-made rituals - whether it be a Catholic church or Protestant one. There isn’t one “true” church - only the body of believers whichever denomination they are in.

So, you keep your ordinances and rituals and I’ll keep my personal relationship with Jesus. Do you think God is impressed with your ceremonies? I doubt that.

And, I’m also sure He isn’t impressed with those who prostrate themselves in front of a mere mortal man. That type of worship is preserved for God and God only. And, whether you like it or not - it does denote worship.
