So I looked it up and he's saying it's due to knee problems.



Perhaps the knee problem is why he doesn’t genuflect, so maybe he should be given the benefit of the doubt in this specific regard, rather than presuming contempt for Christ? 

I know traditional priests who can’t genuflect because of physical maladies (eg., Fr. Iscara, SSPX).

Then again, Fr. Iscara never put a beach ball on the altar, conveying the notion Christ’s sacrifice and torture was a festive and jovial occasion.

Still, the publication of his knee problems seems more than sufficient to preclude a rash judgment that he’s refusing to genuflect out of contempt.

Here's the funny irony.  God gave these evil people 100 years to do their worst but they still can't get rid of Trads.  God allowed them power/influence in every area of life (politics, economics, science, religion, medicine, etc) and the only thing He has protected is Traditionalism.  And yet, in the end, this tiny mustard seed is what will grow and defeat them.  And they know it.  And they continue on with their evil plans, thinking there will be a different outcome.  :jester:  These people are evil and insane.

Imagine how they'll freak out when God ACTUALLY does something - like give the Church a good pope?  These people couldn't handle Trump's "conservatism"...how will they handle a true catholic leader?  It's going to be comical to watch.

Well, I don't think that the devil is stupid.  If we all know, then he knows it to that ... in the end, God wins, and he loses.  But he's determined to damn as many souls as possible along the way, and that's really what's driving him.

I believe that his knee problem is relatively recent.  During his pseudo-consecration of Russia/Ukraine/the world, he walked right past the statue of Our Lady of Fatima and made not even the slightest gesture of respect or even look at her.  But if the only thing going against him was non-genuflection, then I would agree, but he's shown himself to be an enemy of the Catholic faith in many areas ... as you mentioned in citing the beachball.

Independent priest Father Leo Carley cannot genufluect any longer without assistance, so he installed a little rail in the sanctuary to help him genuflect and also to go up and down the steps to the altar.
