I have done that too. I have wanted to learn how these people are suppose
to take the host in their hands even though I would never do this. I guess
I could say this was funny. One time I went to a protestant church and I
tried to kneel and found there were no kneelers. I will never go back as I
don't understand how your knees can stand kneeling on those hard floors. My
knees were certainly sore after that I will tell you. I don't kneel on the
hard floor even in my own home. I use a pillow. No wonder you protestants
are so zealous. It takes stamina I will tell you.
