What times we now live in.
“unspecified incidents”
How lame.
They could accommodate their parishioners by placing a kneeler near the altar.
Gotta speed up the line to get people out in under an hour...
What an incredibly stupid statement. I can tell you this: I don’t normally receive Communion on my knees but you can bet I’d do it every time at that parish.
Everybody seems to be able to live with it quite nicely.
Orthostatic hypotension from standing quickly after kneeling for a period of time. You can lose consciousness and whack your head on the bench ahead. This is not the church’s problem. If you have orthostatic hypotension, you know it. If you cannot kneel simply bow your head.
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the edge of the bed for about 15 seconds then stand up. My normal blood pressure is low normal. I do not want to whack my head.
And of course they could solve the whole problem with two prie-dieus at the head of the aisle. But the whole point is, they don't WANT to solve the problem.
I sometimes wonder if there are any sane people left in my church or my government.
How in all that is holy, including the holy sacrament, does NOT kneeling "protect the sanctity"? You kneel BECAUSE the elements are sacred, BECAUSE you want to receive our Lord in all humility, BECAUSE He must increase and we must decrease.
I have lymphedema in both legs, and it hurts to kneel and hurts more to rise, so I only do it once a week, in the presence of my Lord, and will continue to do it until either my legs or my heart gives out--not to show off as a saint, but because as a sinner I can do no less. I am grateful that I attend a church where all kneel when they receive the Lord's body; it isn't Catholic of course.
Religiosity.
Stand, sit, kneel, sit, kneel, stand, kneel, sit, kneel, stand... what did he say? I have no idea, he is speaking in Latin.
Would Jesus approve of this nonsense?
Does God care if you are standing when you should be kneeling?
OF COURSE NOT!
Does He care if your priests diddle little boys? YES!
Catholic Church is unbiblical in almost everything they do
Interesting article.
The thread that follows will be complete garbage.
The Catholic church is as disconnected from the religion as the U.S. government is from America.
It is California. What do you expect?
National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help (near Green Bay, WI)
At Mass communicants can kneel at the altar rail to receive The Body and Blood of Jesus on the tongue.
Learn the story of the only approved Marian apparition in the US. She told Adele that she is the Queen of Heaven. The great Pestigo WI fire was stopped at this property.
