Dearmer's Dilemma

 

 

Roman Catholic practice of bending the knee has diminished since Vatican 2 and many of the faithful have adopted the practice of a rigid, unbending genuflexion (known in some communities as a straight leg stance).  Their obeisance is a metaphysical phenomenon and resident within the heart.  Some, depending on their age and stage, have a temporary relapse and have been seen to bend the knee but peer pressure is a corrective for such back-sliding.
