A ban on kneeling would somehow be excused by a need for efficiency. Nonetheless, it suggests another step in the ongoing process of promoting nonbeliuef in the Real Presence. Granted that Christ is present whether we kneel or not, this comes on top of the effort to remove kneelers from the pews, place the tabernacle out of sight, etc. Face it we have a pack of liberal jackals running many AmChurch dioceses and, like most liberals, they suffer a neverending series of new itches that must always be scratched immediately lest our liberal bishops and their vacuous lay enthusiasts be ignored.

Furthermore, it is quite evident that most AmChurch bishops have absolutely no intrention of cleaning up their cesspool seminaries.

It would if you are totally paranoid and have a habit of putting the worst possible interpretation on the reasons why people disagree with you. This is exactly what we have to stop doing if we want the Church to heal.

"This comes on top of the effort to remove kneelers from the pews, place the tabernacle out of sight, etc. "

Here's what we should do do. Go here. http://www.nccbuscc.org/liturgy/index.htm

It is the USCCB web site. Read the norms for the various liturgical celebrations. Then obey them exactly as written. If ALL Catholics did that, the church would be better off than it is now.

"Face it we have a pack of liberal jackals running many AmChurch dioceses and, like most liberals, they suffer a neverending series of new itches that must always be scratched immediately lest our liberal bishops and their vacuous lay enthusiasts be ignored. "

Well there you are. We are holy but they are jackals. We never sin, they always sin. Therefore we are excluded from obedience to our bishops. Whatever they say we may do and think the opposite without even thinking about it. I hope that is not your attitude.

"Furthermore, it is quite evident that most AmChurch bishops have absolutely no intrention of cleaning up their cesspool seminaries."

It is? It is just evident? Common sense tells me that they WILL clean them up if only because lawsuits and scandal are no fun at all.
