Are the priest's two fingers still consecrated at ordination?

[samoht]

I would like to know if it is true that when a priest is ordained are his two fingers still consecrated to touch the host? If so why is that?

Also, I would like to ask if Christians and Catholics in particular hold the Jews responsible for the crucification of Christ? A simple yes or no will suffice.

Can you answer if Jews believe Jesus to be a prophet, a heretic or a mis-guided Jew?

As a born, baptized and raised Catholic man I have wanted to ask these questions of our Catholic faith.

I have many more questions but I will wait for your reply to these few.

Thank you and God Bless you in your work.

Hi,

In the Tridentate Mass, the priest held his index finger and thumb together because they touched the host. But his whole hands were anointed at ordination.

The Catholic Church does not hold the Jewish people responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus.

Most Jews don’t have an opinion regarding Jesus—other than the fact that they don’t consider Him to be the messiah.
