DILEMMAS for the Faithful. #11

POPE FRANCIS OFTEN DISRESPECTS THE REAL PRESENCE.

PERHAPS FRANCIS HAS AN AILMENT OR COMPLAINT WHICH PROHIBITS HIS KNEELING OR GENUFLECTING AT THE CONSECRATION IN THE MASS, OR AT THE REAL PRESENCE, OR TOWARDS THE TABERNACLE.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal is the Catholic Church’s instructions governing the celebration of Mass.

N. 274 of the Roman Missal specifies that:

“During Mass three genuflections are made by the priest celebrant: namely, after the showing of host, after the showing of the chalice and before Communion.”

Additionally, all Catholics kneel before the Monstrance holding the Real Presence and genuflect towards the Tabernacle when entering or leaving the church

 In the video of the Mass below, the consecration of the host into the Body of Christ happens at the 51:47 mark, and the consecration of the chalice or wine into the Blood of Christ at the 52:32 mark — but Pope Francis did not genuflect ......

Here’s Pope Francis not genuflecting in another Mass — the Christmas Midnight Mass, December 24, 2016.

The consecration of the host into the Body of Christ begins at the 1:18:57 mark. Note how the Vatican’s camera cuts to a nun dressed in blue in the congregation (11:19:25), to avoid capturing the Pope’s refusal to genuflect.

Then comes the consecration of the wine into the Blood of Christ (1:20:20). Once again, the camera cuts to and lingers on another blue-garbed nun in the congregation (1:20:36 to 1:20:42), instead of showing the Pope not genuflecting.

At the 1.18 min. mark in the following video, the Pope leaves his pew without genuflecting...

In the link following Francis still refuses to kneel before the Eucharistic adoration.

Vatican News (21 February) published photographs of a Eucharistic adoration that took place during the retreat of the Roman Curia in progress in Ariccia, near Rome.

The participants in the retreat knelt before the monstrance, except Francesco.

perhaps Pope Francis has a physical impediment that restricts his kneeling, which is most understandable. 

BUT THEN................

Something that Francis has managed at every Holy Thursday celebration for several years.

A MYSTERY OF FAITH.

Pope St. Pious X, pray for us.
