**This is so to the extent that the US Bishops request that standing be shown as the "norm" for receiving Communion in America was granted conditionally! That "condition" being it would be allowed only if those desiring to receive Communion kneeling would not be denied its reception in this posture. Further: "Indeed, the faithful should not be imposed upon nor accused of disobedience and of acting illicitly when they kneel to receive Holy Communion." 2**

Kneeling is OK. Do you think more people are doing it when they receive Communion?

I can only speak for my parish, and the answer here is no.

If I were pastor, I would make it clear that if one wanted to receive kneeling, there would be a particular station that one would need to approach to do that, simply to prevent disruption in the flow of communicants.
