My experience at the NO

[Norbert]

Oh yes...they are the priests that took over at St. Joseph's when the Capuchins left. That's the Church where the priest acted like I was committing a grave mortal sin when I asked if I could receive Holy Communion kneeling...his response was, "Oh God please! No not that!" That was the last time I went to that Church.

Something like that happened to me too.

Obviously I started kneeling for Communion when at the NO in order to show reverence, but it has had an interesting side effect.  I always try to ask the priest first and his reaction seems to correspond to the orthodoxy and reverence of the Mass.  It works as a quick test for determining which NOs I will be able to stand.

I kneel regardless.  If it's the mass, it's jesus, and that's way more important than what a priest thinks, frankly.  I don't even attend one of the parishes here, but the one I do, if I was refused communion kneeling I wouldn't take communion there at all.

EDIT: to those claiming that total avoidance of the NO would benefit one spiritually more than going every day: GROW UP.  Really?  You don't speak for everyone.

Without the availability of an admittedly inferior rite of the Mass, I would be a fornicating Deist now.  Seriously.  Get a hobby.
