Yeap, that's what all these people who are representing themselves as "charitable" people say. "Humility. You should look at the Pope's humility."

Is that to which you are referring. If so it is much easier to get up off a kneeler where one can push oneself up on the top of the kneeler than on the top of an altar. An altar is much higher and it is not as easy to push oneslef back up at an altar.

Never-the-less, although Pope Francis looks very healthy, he only has one lung. The other one was taken out in his younger years. Perhaps that affects his ability to kneel.

I'm stating the obvious fact the there are obvious causes for concern; and keeping one's eyes shut tightly and rah-rahing is neither holy nor wise. There is much need for prayer.

Scripture tells us there will be a short time that the perpetual sacrifice will cease. Could that be in our day? Possibly.
