All that time you spent typing on this thread, and you've refuted nothing. I'll stick with GIRM over your stale opinions.

Did you think the General Instruction was going to admit it was in contradiction to the Council of Trent? It is as deceptive as the liturgy itself. Here again is Cardinal Ratzinger:
"It may well be that kneeling is alien to modern culture--insofar as it is a culture, for this culture has turned away from the faith and no longer knows the One before whom kneeling is the right, indeed the intrinsically necessary gesture. The man who learns to believe learns also to kneel, and a faith or a liturgy no longer familiar with kneeling would be sick at the core. Where it has been lost, kneeling must be recovered." (The Angelus, citing Ratzinger, April 2002, p. 15.)
And again, speaking to the fact that the Council of Trent rejects the doctrinal deviations of the new Mass, he writes: "It is only by grasping that it results from the practical disqualification of Trent, that one can understand the exasperation that accompanies the fight against the possibility of still celebrating Mass according to the 1962 Missal." (Ibid., p. 19.)
