It is also the disputes between the modernist and the traditional bishops. This information came to me via the priest at my former parish. He had all the documentation on it and was going to share it with me, but decided not to when he found out I had a blog and he was afraid I would most likely publish the info, so he failed to share it with me.paramedicgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524363951843887071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-36419474555979660682009-08-23T09:48:01.290-07:002009-08-23T09:48:01.290-07:00A note on the comment about Canada.

The English one is ready but we await the French because we are a bilingual country. The French is being held up by the bishops of France.

ThanksMickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362052610142449121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-35580398400023937652009-07-22T12:34:46.322-07:002009-07-22T12:34:46.322-07:00I don't think kneeling during communion would ...I don't think kneeling during communion would distract anybody from what they should be thinking about. They should be thinking "WOW I am about receive the God of All creation!!!" <br /><br />KNeeling is completely consistent with what we should be focusing on when we receive Holy Communion. <br /><br />If people feel uncomfortable or distracted because somebody is kneeling before God... maybe they should question why they are standing. Is it because everybody else is doing it??? <br /><br />Mary Help of Christians Pray for us to be more humble in the presence of your son! <br /><br />It should be noted that although standing is the norm in the United States the Vatican allowed this PROVIDED that those who wished to receive kneeling were left full freedom and were not to be treated as disobedient etc. You go can to <br /><br />www.youtube.com/kolbe1019<br /><br />for several videos on the topic. <br /><br />God bless you and God love you <br /><br />Gabriel.... 26 and Kneeling since 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-32302314645387814012009-07-19T14:14:41.815-07:002009-07-19T14:14:41.815-07:00hello All!

With a rail, I can. I'm grateful for the occasional parish I visit that has one; most notably Holy Rosary in Portland Oregon.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261197566240560777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-76812245525501472822009-07-04T19:55:10.928-07:002009-07-04T19:55:10.928-07:00It all depends on the Parish.

Some parishes, although few, still have a railing - where you kneel - the altar server (boy) accompanies the priest - puts the plate under your chin - and you receive Holy Communion on the tongue. Other parishes have more modern practices - many Catholics receive in the hand. This practice is OK in the USA - but know that the reason it has been allowed is because of so much abuse, Bishops did not want ot fight it - so the Vatican gave the bishops an OK. Kneeling before receiving can be a problem because the person behind you may not expect it, and may trip on you. So - it is best to do the practice of the Parish - providing it is sanctioned by the Church. I would say it is best to receive Jesus on the tongue. I am an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist - and I have witnessed many abuses i.e. trying to receive Jesus in the hand with gloves, receiving the host and trying to put Jesus in the pocket. Yes - it sounds crazy, but it does happen,<br /><br />God bless...Brianhttp://www.abookofeverything.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-54693982840994428292009-07-03T15:35:09.695-07:002009-07-03T15:35:09.695-07:00i kneel for Holy Communion. i don't go to any ...i kneel for Holy Communion. i don't go to any other church, so i don't have to wonder what the norm is. but if it was the norm to stand, i'd ask the priest before Mass started if I could kneel for Holy Communion. if he said no, I wouldn't. like my sister's here, i would not want to draw undue attention to myself.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550875376593955659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-91844346915268254022009-07-03T08:46:49.777-07:002009-07-03T08:46:49.777-07:00Shirley, that is exactly what I do!

When I work on Sunday, I attend whatever Mass I can get to, and that usually means going to a 7 PM Mass somewhere close to the station I worked at that day. I don't want to draw attention to myself (I feel that being the only one there with a head covering on has already made me conspicious) so if I go for Communion I will genuflect and then receive standing like everyone else.<br /><br />Like Shirley, I don't want to distract others from what they should be thinking about. Even though I think we should always kneel for Holy Communion, I would rather be invisible than become an occasion of sin for others who may see things differently.paramedicgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524363951843887071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-84634166847033214002009-07-03T02:03:23.008-07:002009-07-03T02:03:23.008-07:00We ALL kneel at the Oratory..We ALL kneel at the Oratory..Jackie Parkes MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693505024823229152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-18845330293378042692009-07-02T22:10:08.923-07:002009-07-02T22:10:08.923-07:00Kneel always, unless my knees are giving me a hard...Kneel always, unless my knees are giving me a hard time.Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673639169019002933.post-24259227933294122202009-07-02T21:46:40.691-07:002009-07-02T21:46:40.691-07:00Standing is the norm for the church I usually atte...Standing is the norm for the church I usually attend, although most of the parishoners genuflect, bow, or make the sign of the Cross. I kneel, as do a very few others. Our priest says it doesn't matter to him if we stand or kneel.When I go to other churches where standing is the norm, I usually genuflect and make the sign of the cross. I feel that if I stand out too much, people will be looking at me instead of concentrating on the Sacred Body and Blood they are about to receive.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.com
