One has to wonder about those in authority who persecute and intimidate Catholics who choose to bend the knee in humble adoration of our God and our Redeemer. If our Holy Father has not YET issued any mandates to revoke indults for receiving in the hand, and for standing to receive, he or another pope in the not-too-distant future surely will. That the prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments is recommending kneeling and receiving on the tongue can only be construed as a preparation to the Catholic world for such a directive. I believe the Holy Father would like to do this. Whether he does or not is hard to tell. But, believe me, God’s will shall be accomplished, and Catholics of the Western Roman rite will once more be instructed to receive in the traditional kneeling posture, and on the tongue.
