Guess I was making a distinction I wasn’t articulating.
Great catch.
I think it’s safe to say that bowing and prostration mean different things to different people, and should not be placed as stumbling blocks to the weak. To him to whom it is divine worship, he should not bow nor be required to bow, and to him to whom it is not it should be permitted if felt necessary.
I think St. Paul wrote at length on these sorts of scandals.
