MissScripture Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 [quote name='XIX' post='1272450' date='May 13 2007, 02:23 PM']I'm not sure about the Pope, but I do know that we normally supposed to genuflect to the Tabernacle (God) on our right knee. I have no idea why, but it's in the GIRM, so I roll with it. That said, there' nothing wrong with huggin the Pope...[/quote] I think I remember being told that it was right knee to the tabernacle because when men used to wear swords, they had them hanging on the left, so they could grab them with their right hands. And if you have a sword on your left, you can't really genuflect on that knee. Or I could be totally off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafka Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I dont agree with manipulating those pictures. It could cause scandal to the weak, and you dont want to do that. At least I wouldnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, to all those wondering, the pope pretzel picture is photoshopped. I posted it a couple of years ago on here (NO I DID NOT CREATE IT) -- I thought it was funny at the time in that I thought the intended humor was about the pope being Bavarian -- but people were offended because they felt it was mockery of the Eucharist. I regretted causing offense. I mentioned this in confession and the priest knew what pictures I was talking about and actually chuckled a little.

Phoenix Reborn Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) The Pope loves children, just as Jesus does. Edited May 14, 2007 by Phoenix Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) The thing is, the kids might have done some introduction or customary bowing/genuflection beforehand. I don't even know if this was a ceremony, a mass, or what. It's not right to assume there was some "wrongdoing" (sorry kids, it's off to hell for you for hugging the pope!) from just a single picture. If I was a kid I'd want to hug the pope! Or even if I wasn't a kid. Edited May 14, 2007 by Ash Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
