Yet, he bows before Jewish leaders. He bows before Schismatic Patriarchs, he now has bowed to the Kabah in Mecca.
Antonio Socci now reveals, as published at Rorate, that he did not kneel in prayer as customary upon the opening of the Holy Door whilst in Africa. We note that in his frailty and pain a few years before his death, John Paul II did kneel and did genuflect. He humbly submitted himself to be assisted in this process by those around him.
What can we draw from this?
Why does the Bishop of Rome acknowledge the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ, "'tis God, the very God" in the same way as he acknowledges men or the false god of Mahomet or bows before sodomitical and homosexualist advocating priests or to in a questionable "charismatic" charade that borders on protestantism?
This is not a matter of "hating the Pope" or "hating Francis." I don't hate the Pope, I don't hate Jorge Bergoglio. I hate what he is doing. I hate that he does not speak with clarity but confusion. I hate that he gives credence to heresiarchs and condemns faithful Catholics as "fundamentalist" as if that is a bad thing which it must be because he says they are "evil." I hate his insults and what appears to be an embarrassment of all things Catholic. I detest his actions in every one of those pictures, the bowing before men in some false humility. I despise his failure to genuflect after the elevation giving adoration and acknowledgement to the Lord's Presence. As with the dispensing of rubrics on Holy Thursday, what kind of example does that set?
Clearly, there is no problem with his ability to kneel and bow as can be seen with these pictures.
He may call me a "calumniator" but as the then, not Saint, Peter Damian called out the corruption of his day, even in letters to the Pope himself, we must do the same.
To say that as laymen and laywoman we have no right to speak up and express our concerns is a clericalist lie.
