One should kneel when receiving communion, especially if one is not Physically unable to kneel.
To stand when you are able to kneel, shows disrespect for the Real Presence in the Host!
Also, ONLY the consecrated hands of a Priest should touch the Host, and the faithful should receive on the toungue.
To do otherwise, shows either ignorance of the real presence, or worse still; indifferentism. I wonder if Christ appeared to people now, would they refuse to kneel?
Ok, I get the idea of kneeling. I do it in my parish but then again I am usually in the sanctuary with the priest during the consecration so this seems normal. On the other hand I also get a very uneasy feeling watching this fellow. He seems so full of anger. Were there not also abuses in the old rite? Our priests here jump on people and make them go to confession directly after Mass if they have not shown the proper respect for Christ. Clearly changing books was not the cause of abuse.
You misunderstood: I once saw a Hostie fall on the ground during hand communion. She just picked it up and put it back in the chalice like nothing happend.
I genuflected in church before, and next thing you know, the guy tells me not to do that anymore. Then a couple weeks later, there was a notice in the church bulletin discouraging genuflecting. But they did allow to start bowing. I was rather disappointed, especially since this was at the Cathedral, the mother church in Hawaii. Now, I just receive the communion on the tongue. I don't care if I back up the line.
Don't worry -- Think about how Jesus will be smiling, the angels and saints in heaven will be rejoicing.
Remember, they are not going to beat you up, and if they did, what glory to suffer for Christ.
If the priest continues to refuse you, let him and the parish knows that until you can receive as a Catholic kneeling and on the tongue, you and your friends will not give any more money. Publish your complaint in the religious and secular newspapers.
At a certain other parish I went to (and I haven't gone there since), the priest did give me Holy Communion, but as I was leaving the church, he pulled me aside and said "Could you please not do that again?"
I told my grandmother about it afterwards, and she was like "I told you not to do that! You aren't being reverent; you are just making a display of yourself. Nobody else does that!"
. I've actually been kneeling since Easter, though I've been receiving on the tongue for at least a year now.
The words of the priest in this particular video really does ring true, though.
I usually attend a certain parish, and while I am not barred from receiving the communion, every time I go to receive kneeling, immediately after saying "The Body of Christ," the parish priest then says "Stand up!"
I regularly attend the Novus Ordo, albeit predominately because it isn't feasible to attend a Traditionalist church.
Oblationem, I think you've done a lot of good by putting this series on the net. It's specifically because of an earlier part of the series that you put up "Acceptance of Errors into the Novus Ordo," in which the priest said that standing was an "ecumenical" innovation that gave me the impetus to start kneeling.
My pastor has told me not to even genuflect before recieving, what should I do?
( I do make a profound bow at least, most people in my parish dont do anything)

I'm still scared to death the Hostie will fall out of my mouth. I'm used to hand communion so much, alas.

Scared?
If you were really scared you would receive only on the tongue. Only concreted hands are to touch our Lord. Are you so proud that you can't kneel?

Why are you calling the Blessed Sacrement "Hostie"? That sounds disrespectful.

Another priest, while he did give me Holy Communion, looked at me as though I was nuts.
