I agree.  Standing is the traditional posture for community prayer.

The criticism of whether, when or why the pope kneels  is NOT about the Eucharist or the Real Presence. The criticism is a filthy, hypocritical and dishonest attack on the person of the pope; using the Eucharist as the vehicle for doing that is cowardly. These folks are apparently visitors from the right-wing blogosphere, home to conspiracy theories and lies of all sorts.  Despicable.
