I have no problem with him bowing instead of genuflecting (I'm in my 60s with bad knees and if I genuflected someone would have to help me get back up -
Pope Francis kneeling on a prie dieu.
The image dates to 2015 on a blog post entitled: Pope Francis Comes Out in Favor of Genuflecting. The blogger cites Francis' comment on kneeling "How I wish...that Christians could kneel in veneration when a poor person enters the church." but notes that he wasn't talking about genuflecting to Christ. He raises some good questions.

Notice that he walks down the airplane staircase unassisted, yet completely ignores the prie-dieu in front of the tabernacle where he places his beachball.

I believe the picture from the 2015 blog post of Pope Francis kneeling is actually from the day after his election, March 14, 2013.
