The issue was taking out kneelers for communion. Some of our bishops seem to delight in cruelty towards faithful Catholics. God will not be mocked, nor does he sleep.

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Remove kneelers, suppress the TLM, sell off properties, bless gay unions ect.
Don’t be jolted by the turbulence in our era.
Keep His Peace in your hearts.
Try to imagine a Father looking at His children and seeing them fuss over things that removes their smiles and stirs up anxiety. The childs laughter is drowned out by yelling and screaming.
Trust that the Father see’s every single “thing” that could cause harm or joy to His children.
Are you receiving Christ in Holy communion?
Are you being forgiven for your sins in reconciliation?
Are the proper forms and matter being used as they should be?
If the answer is yes, rejoice! Rejoice and be glad.
The Catholics in Nigeria have it far worse than you.
I don’t like it one bit. The abuses.
What I’ve come to understand is that my heart reflects what it contains. If I can retain the Peace that is freely given to me than I can reflect that gift to my neighbors.
Personally, in order for me to work around the rainbow coalition and serve the needy at the same time, I truly must stay Joyful.
Righteous indignation has its place.
More power to those who can keep the peace and balance the anger.
Phillip ,
I want to thank you for pointing me towards praying the full rosary every day.
Hopefully every day.
No rosary, no breakfast.
No rosary, no lunch.
No rosary, no supper.
No rosary, no sleep.
On my knees or driving or walking or stationary bicycle or sitting..
It’s not as difficult as the devil would have any of us believe.
Daniel Garcia the bishop of Austin, Texas -just banned kneelers as well.
“ In 2015, Pope Francis appointed Garcia an auxiliary bishop of Austin …the first auxiliary Austin ever had.. in 2018 Francis appointed Garcia bishop of Monterey… in early 2025, Pope Leo XIV named Garcia bishop of Austin.. he was installed in September.”
Reverence must disappear, for accommodations of irreverence.
In the prayers of the Mass “holy faithful” are prayed for. This would leave out Marco Rupnik. McCarrick, James Martin….
Protestants have no kneelers at services and funerals. Maybe bring your own kneeler. Invent one that everyone might have. These are our knees.

It’s a great goal to do all four everyday. If you only get two in by bedtime try again tomorrow to do the four. I like your connection, breakfast, lunch, dinner, sleep. What’s easier? Being scourged at the pillar or pushing yourself to do four a day?
After watching Mel’s Passion of the Christ ……
God bless you.
I am blessed that this is my diocese.
