Sensus Fidelium

Bishop Martin distributing Communion at St. Ann's in Charlotte. The NO uses the Communion rails there and he prevents their usage (Think of Cardinal Arinze's comment 'if you believe why don't you kneel, why don't you crawl...'). You'll see elderly still kneel. The altar rail is also called the 'people's altar' so clerics that deprive the people of that show they don't want them really participating in the sacrifice. Gueranger writes of the altar rail as an extension of the main altar (the people's altar) so you don't rest your arms on it like an elbow support (used to use a communion cloth for altar rails and your hands were under the cloth). Still think people should have by passed the bishop and knelt at the rail and everyone behind them just wait. Make him refuse communion to people kneeling at the people's altar.
