Why did Catholics stop bowing their heads when the name of Jesus was spoken?

It was never a rule, only a custom. Some Catholics still bow their heads at the mention of the name Jesus. Personally, I like the practice. ---- Another Response Some of us do still bow our heads when the Sacred Name is spoken. I don't see many others in the congregation at Sunday Mass doing so, and one doing so may feel a tad conspicuous. I have never asked anyone, and to speculate is never wise, but it is possible that some people stopped some time back because they did not wish to receive the dreaded P.O.D.* label. And when their parents stopped, the younger generation coming up never learned the custom, and so did not pass it on to their children, nor they to theirs. ____________ *P.O.D. "Pious and overly devotional," considered a fault by some modern Catholics. (But some of us consider it a mark of virtue!)
