This is apparently where the idiot modernist in control of the parish tried to sell the idea it was a "mortal sin" to kneel at Communion:

Kneeling "is clearly rebellion, grave disobedience and mortal sin," Father Martin Tran, pastor at St. Mary's by the Sea, in Huntington Beach, Calif., told his flock in a recent church bulletin.

They can tear out all the altar rails, rip out historic stanined glass windows and statuary, stripping down every parish to sterile white blank iconoclast padded cells, and make up as many imaginary clericalist canons ordering all modernist Catholics to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge at the psychobabble Sign of Peace, it doesn't make it right. And it doesn't make it Catholic. We are not some sort of authoritarian fideist cult where the leaders can make things up out of thin air and order everyone to follow as if tradition did not matter.

Luckily, the pope agrees with you. Precisely: this is the kind of clericalism that leads the Church toward ruin.
