Bottled wine consecration?

[Daniel_Jiaen]

I attend mass at a cathedral in New Zealand and the mass has changed here recently.The gifts of wine and bread are bought before the consecration as usual, the wine in two clear glass bottles. Then the priest pours the wine into one chalice and consecrates it, with the rest of the wine still in the bottles, After the consecration, two EMHC’s come up and pour the consecrated blood into separate chalices.
It seems quite strange, maybe because it’s different, I don’t know.
What do you think?

 

[marty1818]

This is what *Redemptionis Sacramentum *says about it:

[106.] However, the pouring of the Blood of Christ after the consecration from one vessel to another is completely to be avoided, lest anything should happen that would be to the detriment of so great a mystery. Never to be used for containing the Blood of the Lord are flagons, bowls, or other vessels that are not fully in accord with the established norms.

I believe the norms it references are:

[117.] Sacred vessels for containing the Body and Blood of the Lord must be made in strict conformity with the norms of tradition and of the liturgical books.[205]The Bishops’ Conferences have the faculty to decide whether it is appropriate, once their decisions have been given the recognitio by the Apostolic See, for sacred vessels to be made of other solid materials as well. It is strictly required, however, that such materials be truly noble in the common estimation within a given region,[206]so that honour will be given to the Lord by their use, and all risk of diminishing the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharistic species in the eyes of the faithful will be avoided. Reprobated, therefore, is any practice of using for the celebration of Mass common vessels, or others lacking in quality, or devoid of all artistic merit or which are mere containers, as also other vessels made from glass, earthenware, clay, or other materials that break easily. This norm is to be applied even as regards metals and other materials that easily rust or deteriorate.%between%

As long as the priest intends to consecrate the bread and wine in nearby vessels, it becomes the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is why in very large Masses (such as those with the Pope, or large diocesan events), the hosts to be given out to the crowd, which are located on tables near the altar, are also concecrated.

So as for the wine being concecrated in the glass vessels, it’s valid matter (it is really concecrated and becomes Our Lord), but this is absolutely incorrect that the wine is not being concecrated in the chalices, and even more incorrect that the EMHCs are pouring it out, as they are not even supposed to take a chalice off of the altar, it is supposed to be handed to them already filled.

I haven’t been to an Ordinary Form Mass in a long time, preferring the Extraordinary Form. Our priest uses cruets for the wine and water. The cruets have a gold filigree design on them. Beautiful pieces of work. Much more fitting to present to God than bottles.
