Well, a couple of things. Neither of these men are bowing. They are kneeling. And the priest is not kneeling to a tabernacle, he is kneeling to Almighty God the Son, Jesus Christ, who is residing in the tabernacle.

Jesus Christ resides in heaven, at the right hand of God the Father. (see Ephesians 1:20). No where in the Bible does it say that Jesus resides in a tabernacle in a Catholic Church. And yes, I will concede that they are both kneeling, but would make no sense calling it Tekneeling. Praising God Tim Tebow is bringing Jesus into the spotlight.

i lol'd.

Anonym.: "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'" (luke 22,19)

Thanks for stopping by, Anonymous.

I wonder if the entire chapter six of the Holy Gospel of Saint John is even in the Evangelical/Protestant/non-denominational Christian Bible?

Tito: Always difficult to detect sarcasm online, so just in case you're serious: yes, John 6 is in everyone's Bible FWIW. But when you read it for the first time through Catholic lenses?.... wow.... mind... blown.

Another fundie whack job. To sit at the right hand is figuratively for a place of authority. Jesus can be where he chooses.

Brad,

My bad.

English humour and sarcasm doesn't translate well online.

For the record, John 6 is in all the Bibles that Evangelicals, Protestants, and non-denominational Christians carry (and JW's to boot).

Tito:

Not your bad - I was just clarifying for our respectable, non-Catholic lurkers ;-)

Thanks (as always) for your plugs at The Pulp.it, btw!

Jesus Christ began "HIS" Church over 2,000 years ago : Saint Matthew 16:[16] Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. [18] And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. Plain English, He said "MY" Church.

Love it.
Tito and Brad, I was stunned when I read John 6 as for some reason we had never touched that chapter in my Baptist church or Sunday school....strange.

May He be adored and Glorified in all the tabernacles of the world. Christ TRULY present in EVERY Catholic Church.

Jesus is present in the Eucharist, the Tabernacle, and in Adoration in a most special way. I encourage, even a protestant, to sit for an hour at an Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a great chance one would leave with a different perspective.
