I hope that the following is taken into consideration should this situation be presented in the Diocese of Tucson - as I understand that you have a new Bishop.
In certain Dioceses within the Catholic Church, kneelers are being banned - even though one can still receive kneeling and on the tongue. They would just have to receive kneeling on the floor. In respect to the elderly and disabled, how can they still exercise their right to kneel and receive on the tongue if there are no kneelers? How is this any different from a public building where all can enter - such as a library - but a ramp is not provided? There is no difference. If there is something that I am not aware of in this situation, I apologize. Otherwise, how was/is such little consideration given to the elderly and disabled in these decisions?
