Last week I was thinking about our string about posture at receiving communion. I am much more inclined to understand the ruling, especially at papal masses. I thought back to how people receiving communion from Pope Benedict at the last two papal masses I watched on television is a bit... a unconventional. When I mentioned it to our normally easy-going parish priest at Easter Vigil, he called such behavior "disturbing and not right." The faithful forget that the priest (even if it is the Holy Father) is just a man who is holding THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in his fingers. The faithful are more often focused on going "Beatlemania" on the Pope: swooning, kissing his ring/hands, substantially ignoring the Bread of Life.
If I was the Pope, and behavior such as that was my exclusive experience witnessing (when Cardinal to JP II) or distributing communion (when I myself was Pope), I sure would be making a change in the People of God's behavior upon being in the presence of Christ. POV is important, and sometimes paramount.
I forgot to thank you about recommending Bella! As soon as you posted your memo; I asked around & everyone agreed it was a must watch...So I researched & rented on the exact day it came out....IT WAS SOOOOOOOO GOOOD. THANK YOU!!
