To kneel or not to kneel

Working at the LHG is a thankless task. Not only are we understaffed, malnourished, and barely read - but lets face it, religion nowadays usually isn't a happy topic. You have no idea the number of fanatics, bigots, murderers, molesters, and tooth fairies that show up at our office every day. Yet every now and then there is a ray of hope. Change may be on the horizon.

For example, the U.S. Catholic church is in the midst of a gripping and momentous debate as to whether it's kosher to kneel in church. As the Los Angeles Times Reports: "The debate is part of the argument among Catholics between tradition and change. Traditionalists see it as the ultimate posture of submission to and adoration of God; modernists view kneeling as the vestige of a feudal past they would like to leave behind."

Some churches have banned kneeling, altar boys have lost their jobs for kneeling, parishioners have walked out of mass to kneel outside church. It's heartening to see the Catholic church tackle the great moral issues of our time.

LHG on this debate: Get a life.
