On a retreat given by Bp Stuyver, we all visited the church where St Bernadette was lying. It was impossible to kneel in front of her body. We prayed the rosary together, all kneeling on the ground. We were the only ones kneeling. What did we do wrong?
@montiniski I was blessed to see her in the 90's. She is my confirmation Saint.
@montiniski What did you do wrong? Bernadette herself would probably say you shouldn't have concerned yourself with what other people were doing. As one who has sat on those benches for hours, I would say maybe don't judge those who didn't want to kneel on stone or a wooden kneeler.
@montiniski "You thereby gave occasion for scandal in confirming that Catholics DO worship dead people!" (Sarcasm) We were there many times, indeed there was no kneelers. We all sat quietly before her. The "main" Altarraum is dreadfully NO. She would not recognize it.
@montiniski That’s because the pirates surrounding you are mad.
