Mass at Santa Martha Chapel
It appears they don't even have kneelers in that chapel.
Kind of explains why he doesn't genuflect in front of the Tabernacle or at the Consecration; but he will get on his knees to wash a Muslim's feet for the benefit of numerous photographers.
Just FYI, most churches in Italy (and abroad) have kneelers made of wood with no cushion. So it’s literally like kneeling on the floor. I wouldn’t be surprised if the faithful in that chapel kneeled on the floor during consecration, as they are pretty much used to doing that anyway.
With all that said, the architecture there is atrocious.
Wow. I didn’t know this. There are no kneelers at the papal chapel? How long has this been going on?
Let me guess...since the 1960’s-1970’s.
