Again: Pope Francis Refuses to Kneel In Front of the Blessed Sacrament

Sunday night, Pope Francis celebrated Corpus Christi at the basilica of Saint John Lateran. For the first time this Pontifical celebration was moved from Thursday to Sunday. In his homily Francis called the Sacrament of the Altar "a humble meal, that lovingly heals our memory, wounded by life’s frantic pace of life."

He refused to genuflect at the consecration as well as in front of the Blessed Sacrament, which was exposed after Mass. Neither did he participate in the procession, but concluded it at Santa Maria Maggiore, while again refusing to kneel in front of the real presence of Our Lord.

Has anybody ever explicitly asked him "why"? I'd like to hear him explain this bizarre behavior.

I'd have thought that a truly Catholic journalist would also be curious about this and would ask him directly the next time he climbed aboard a plane and gave one of his mid-air pressers.

Oops, his inner Jesuit is showing. "a humble meal" is protestant theology. The Sacrament of the Altar is truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord.

Not a fan and glad he’s older and not younger, but, don’t some older priests bow instead of kneel/genuflect?

Yes, making a bow instead of genuflecting is an option for the elderly or disabled clergy. That is what Francis does. The idiots try to make it into a sign of disrespect.

I don't know. Bergoglio even declines a prie-dieu when offered one at Benediction and Exposition.

On the other hand:

Good grief! He said that?

And with the saints, below the Alter, in Heaven, I say, “How long, oh Lord, how long?”.
