Our Lord himself prayed on his knees in the Garden of Olives, and when St Paul said goodbye to the Christians of Miletus he prayed with them kneeling (Acts xx, 3 6). By kneeling a man emphasises his littleness and submission before his superior. (Public Worship, J.A. Jungmann [London: Challoner Publications, 1957])

The fruits of Sola Ecclesia, how again is it better for men and interpreted tradition to define Gods intent over scripture defining scripture? I do not recall our Lord ever humiliating anyone, let alone a child, especially for kneeling in reverence to God!

“Thou Shalt Not Kneel”

The Miami Hurricanes must have read this before their game with Georgia Tech. ;)
