Tom also fails to understand liturgical tradition correctly.

In the West, genuflection is used in reverence to Christ in the
reserved sacrament and to a bishop.  On Good Friday, also, people
kneel in reverence to the cross, which some older rubricists described
as a "double genuflection" for arcane and silly reasons.

The proper reverence to the Holy Name of Jesus is a simple bow of the
head.

We now return you to the pointless argument in progress.
