"It  may well be that kneeling is alien to modern culture–insofar as it is a  culture, for this culture has turned away from the faith and no longer  knows the One before whom kneeling is the right, indeed the  intrinsically necessary gesture. The man who learns to believe learns  also to kneel, and a faith or a liturgy no longer familiar with kneeling  would be sick at the core. Where it has been lost, kneeling must be  rediscovered, so that, in our prayer, we remain in fellowship with the  apostles and martyrs, in fellowship with the whole cosmos, indeed in  union with Jesus Christ Himself."
Pope Benedict XVI writing in the Spirit of the Liturgy.

When we read the Holy Father's words on faith and kneeling - we understanding even more (in hindsight) why Lahey would oppose kneeling in the traditional, Catholic manner. Catholics should reject any tampering, "insight", opinions from a Judas bishop.
