LOL. Most people who cannot kneel in church, sit. Or that half kneel/half sit that is favored by parishioners. He’s standing straight as a ramrod. Why?

I belong to a very conservative parish. I saw an old man one time standing right after he came back from Communion when everyone else was kneeling. He was a visitor. He seemed really upset that more people were not standing along with him. I know that a Colorado diocese made it a practice of standing throughout the entire Eucharistic portion of the Mass. I kneeled throughout in spite.

Frankie has let us all know that he is the pope. But he is not the Church.

When he get's tired standing, he sits.

To an outsider it kinda looks like he has some kind of protest against the Body and Blood of Our Father. But I may be wrong.

maybe he has really bad rheumatoid arthritis. I don’t kneel in church anymore because of it. I don’t want to have to shout out “I’m praying...and I can’t get up!”
