Oh that makes sense! I know that there a few versions of the Act, sometimes if I am not reading it directly off a paper, I will mix all the versions into one! lol!

Haha, that’s kind of funny.Oh that makes sense! I know that there a few versions of the Act, sometimes if I am not reading it directly off a paper, I will mix all the versions into one! lol!
And I didn’t notice your post about receiving on the tongue until just then. It’s a really good question… I guess it’s like some stuff in the Church. It’s almost like because people CAN change, they do… like not eating meat on Friday. Technically you should still do some act of penance, but people just see it as not eating meat, although they certainly still can. Same with altar servers. Girls are ALLOWED to be altar servers, but it’s usually recommended that boys are to prepare them for priesthood, but it seems to me like because girls are ALLOWED to be altar servers, some parishes encourage them the most!

Along the lines of other things said, a priest once offered me the host, but said, “The blood of Christ.” This was at a Mass where we were to receive only one species, and there was a distraction occurring at the time, so I didn’t know whether he was flustered or whether that’s something he can say when there is no precious Blood offered to the people.
Can someone enlighten me?

Are you sure he didn’t say “body” and you just misheard? Either way it’s technically theologically correct, as the host contains the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ - even if you don’t recieve from the cup you recieve the blood of Christ.
As to whether or not they can say that instead, I’d imagine no, but I bet the priest just misspoke.
Do they say “Blood of Christ” if you recieve from the cup? I never have.

Yes they do. I found that interesting too the first time I received from the cup.

He definitely said “the Blood of Christ” as he put the host in my hand. I was second in line, so I wondered if he was alternating what he said, like Anglicans do. It’s the first time I’ve been to a Mass where both species were not offered,
Given the nature of the distraction occurring at the same time, I expect he just mispoke, then, since this is apparently not typical.
Go see the last thread I started, on spontaneous EMHC, for the nature of the distraction

It does sound like he simply mis-spoke the words. Since you asked the question: no, he can’t intentionally “alternate” saying “Body” and “Blood.”He definitely said “the Blood of Christ” as he put the host in my hand.
