Thanks guys,
I am sorry if this topic has offended anyone. It wasn't my intention. There's a video of Bishop Thomas discussing this issue on youtube if you want to see it.

We say "We Thank You (O Lord)", so kissing our hands is a gesture that what we have IS from God.
We thank God for what He has given us (we kiss the palms of our hands), and what He has not given us (the outside of our hands).

Let's see.

Baptism results in the forgiveness of sins. If they were sinful before and repented and were baptised, they can be anything they want to be in the Church.. even a bishop.

Sorry, I mis expressed myself. I'm sorry.
