Can the sacred vessels be purified outside of the santuary?

[EsclavoDeCristo]

I was attending Mass a few weeks ago at a different church. I noticed that after everyone had received the Eucharist, the army of extra-ordinary ministers marched out into the sacristy with the sacred vessels un-purified. I am assuming that these extra-ordinary ministers did that in the sacristy. Is that allowed or is the priest supposed to do the purification of all the vessels? God bless you all and thanks for any insights you may have! :getholy:

 

[Br.Rich_SFO]

As long as someone has them in their possession or out in view on a table, and covered they can be purified if necessary after Mass or outside the sanctuary I believe.

Redemptionis Sacramentum

119.] The Priest, once he has returned to the altar after the distribution of Communion, standing at the altar or at the credence table, purifies the paten or ciborium over the chalice, then purifies the chalice in accordance with the prescriptions of the Missal and wipes the chalice with the purificator. Where a Deacon is present, he returns with the Priest to the altar and purifies the vessels. It is permissible, however, especially if there are several vessels to be purified, to leave them, covered as may be appropriate, on a corporal on the altar or on the credence table, and for them to be purified by the Priest or Deacon immediately after Mass once the people have been dismissed. Moreover a duly instituted acolyte assists the Priest or Deacon in purifying and arranging the sacred vessels either at the altar or the credence table. In the absence of a Deacon, a duly instituted acolyte carries the sacred vessels to the credence table and there purifies, wipes and arranges them in the usual way.[209]
[120.] Let Pastors take care that the linens for the sacred table, especially those which will receive the sacred species, are always kept clean and that they are washed in the traditional way. It is praiseworthy for this to be done by pouring the water from the first washing, done by hand, into the church’s sacrarium or into the ground in a suitable place. After this a second washing can be done in the usual way.

Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago was accused of the sexual assault of a young man who subsequently became a homosexual, and was dying of AIDS when his allegations surfaced. These claims were supposedly recanted voluntarily, although the accuser’s bank account was considerably fattened in the process. Bernardin then presented a chalice to this dying man. Bernardin has been accused of being part of the notorious “Boys Club” of Satanists by Father Andrew Greeley and others.

Ransom for Christian captives of the Saracens was paid for by melting down sacred vessels. Centuries later, the gold component of the cash-and-gold ransom demanded of Rome’s Jews by the NAZI’s was paid with Pius XII’s order to melt down sacred vessels. This profane “gift” of Bernardin is absolutely unprecedented, and is indeed consonant with the “smoke of Satan” warnings echoed in Father Malachi Martin’ Windswept House. This fact-based account featured one of Bernardin’s female victims, one known to this male accuser. “We fight not against men, but against powers and principalities.”

Blessed Virgin, pierced with a sword of sorrow that the thoughts of all may be revealed, expose all that is hidden, every secret thought, exposing all to the cleansing fire which is your Son’s Sacred Heart. AMEN

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF HOLY COMMUNION please.

The U. S. has been granted an Indult [by Rome], for a limited trial I think, to have the EMHC’s purify the vessels.

Joe you are correct and this is an “experimental” Indult I believe with a 3 year limit on it when it will be re-evaluated.

However there is no Indult allowing that EMHC’s be regular scheduled and used so I would assume they mean that they can purify only when they are being utilized (which we all know means every week in almost every parish in the U.S.)
