kw: opinion, faith, spiritual practices
I heard this morning that the Pope recently left it to Bishops whether to continue the practice of kneeling during mass. This is apparently a result of questioning the practice as being due to feudal influences in the medieval church.
It is a bit older than that... In Isaiah, God says, "every knee shall bow to me...", which Paul quotes in Romans. Paul also wrote to the Ephesians, "...I bow my knees unto the Father...".
If kneeling to pray is a mortal sin, it has always been so, and if it was not a mortal sin in the past, it is not one now, nor ever shall be. The real influence is some folks being influenced by The DaVinci Code, which we must remember is a work of fiction (and pretty poorly researched fiction, at that).
