Must I kneel when entering a pew?

[afcaguy]

Must I kneel before going into the Pwe? I see a lot of people kneel and make the sign of the cross, and some don’t. Can I simply bow and make the sign? I have a bad back, and I never know if I will have troubles untill I get down there.

afcaguy,

These links should be helpful for understanding when to genuflect or bow in the church. The second addresses physical disabilities which preclude doing so. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
