I don't think it was forbidden, just discouraged.

The book did allow exception ... something like, 'for those stiff with age or illness'.

It was an interesting read. I expected there to be a lot of things we'd consider to be too rigorous, but most of it was pretty basic.

I liked the part about how we should sit as close to the altar as possible for Mass and not be filling the church up beginning with the last pew.
