I usually sit (toward the front edge of the pew bench) when kneeling is called for, because when trying to get up from kneeling, I tend to pitch way over to the left. Kind-hearted people make a grab for me but it's all rather disruptive.

If I were the pope -- ha --- I realize I would have clerics to my right and left to get me up and down gracefully, as they did for Pope John Paul when the pain and difficulty of moving were strikingly severe.

My larger point is that we should think no evil --- when it's possible to think no evil. Justice requires that we don't always impute the worst motives when there is an element of uncertainty.

Pope Francis needs to be confronted to his face about formal heresy. Over and over again. Let nothing distract us from that.

I just hope when you are older that you never have Mrs D's condition or possibly what the pope has.

Ya'll may hate the guy.....but he's still a person. Have a little compassion.

Good thing Jesus didn't walk by people and say some of things you and your other heartless Roman Catholic have about Mrs. D. and the pope regarding their health.
