Sydney Archbishop Asks Priest To Restore Kneeling Opportunies for Communion

Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney, Australia, wrote his pastoral letter on Corpus Christi on 3 June about adoration and liturgy. Main points:

- Of the various physical postures, kneeling most clearly reveals our beliefs about God and our relationship with Him.

- We are called to show reverence before receiving Holy Communion at Mass.

- In most cases, this reverence is shown by bowing deeply; however, many people choose to receive Communion while kneeling.

- This is a perfectly valid option envisaged in the current Missal. Kneeling was the standard way of receiving Holy Communion in the Latin Church for many centuries.

- Altar benches, which are still present in many of our churches, serve as a reminder of this reverent tradition.

- "I also I also ask our parish clergy to restore kneelers in every church where they are missing."

Bishop against Bishop. This is what happens when the Holy See forsakes its duty of maintaining unity and clarity of the Faith.
