"Kentucky archbishop issues new guidelines discouraging faithful from kneeling for Holy Communion"
"Archbishop Shelton Fabre of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky, issued a document on the norms for receiving the Eucharist last week that notably discouraged communicants from kneeling as they receive the Blessed Sacrament.
The May 14 document entitled Norms for Posture and the Communion Rite emphasized that while the faithful cannot be denied Holy Communion if they choose to kneel, diocesan clergy will be required to instruct parishioners no later than June 22 that standing is the 'normative' posture for receiving the sacrament in the United States. These guidelines are similar to other statements bishops have made that discourage kneeling while receiving the Eucharist.
'Standing is the norm for the reception for Holy Communion,' Archbishop Fabre wrote, citing the designation of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in 2002."
