| Dec 20, 2011 at 22:24 | comment | added | Ben Dunlap | Yeah I can see where the idea would come from. I just don't think that genuflection as such is very much more significant to Catholics than it is to non-Catholics (as indicated by the answer from @Waggers below). It's "simply kneeling to show respect" and just happens to be the standard way of showing respect for the Blessed Sacrament. That doesn't give us Catholics ownership of a pretty basic and common-sense human gesture. Heck, what about marriage proposals... didn't even think of that earlier! | |
| Dec 20, 2011 at 22:11 | comment | added | Peter Turner♦ | @Ben he's probably referring to the fact that when you're at Mass at a church that has for whatever reason removed the tabernacle from the sanctuary that you're not required to genuflect. | |
| Dec 20, 2011 at 22:06 | comment | added | Ben Dunlap | The blog author probably needs to study up on genuflection. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia it's not a particularly ancient gesture and the liturgy is full of genuflections that aren't directed toward the Blessed Sacrament. newadvent.org/cathen/06423a.htm | |

| Dec 20, 2011 at 19:04 | comment | added | Narnian | @hammar There's a lot of showing off in football. However, a player who drops to a knee and bows his head to say a prayer after he has returned to the sideline and is among many other players can hardly be called "showing off". | |
| Dec 20, 2011 at 18:21 | comment | added | Peter Turner♦ | possibly, but if "ingratitude will not enter Heaven" as I think St. Theresa of Avila would say, then if he's showing gratitude, it's a good thing. | |
| Dec 20, 2011 at 18:09 | comment | added | hammar | I believe it's called "showing off". | |
