Do We Bow to Our Priest as He Processes Out?

Question:

During the Sunday liturgy, we are now bowing to our priest as he leaves the sanctuary to process out. Is this permitted?

Answer:

The rubrics for the Sunday liturgy do not call for the faithful to bow as the priest leaves the sanctuary.

We’re a nonprofit —no ads, just truth. Will you help us stay that way?
