but that is not the result of "vatican II" or the NO Mass.

I disagree. Vatican II and the Novus Ordo Mass have de-emphasized the Real Presence. When this is done, it makes it much easier for a priest to convince the faithful that kneeling is inappropriate. It also make the faithful less likely to challenge the priest who forbids the kneeling. Vatican II and the Novus Ordo create an atmosphere of ambivalence. I know this because I experienced it.

I disagree. It's all about who is running the diocese and parishes. I experienced a lifetime of NO Masses and it did not lead to my parish lacking a respect for the Real Presence.

We kneel, we genuflect, we have Adoration. You can't post hoc ergo propter hoc everything.

Why your parish and not mine? It's not the Mass, it's the leaders.
