Communion

[diggerdomer]

Can you be more explicit? Thanks.

Can. 917 A person who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist can receive it a second time on the same day only within the eucharistic celebration in which the person participates, without prejudice to the prescript of ⇒ can. 921, §2.

The liturgical day, for Catholics, for Sundays and Solemnities begins at sundown the evening before.

So by canon law, if you go to Mass for Sunday on Saturday evening or on Sunday, there is no reason to receive communion again apart from the prescripts of can. 921.

Yes, I understand Canon 917 as well as any armchair canonist – I still fail to see how it supports your assertion:

unless there’s a valid and licit reason, you should only celebrate a given liturgy (in this case, the Sunday liturgy) once.

But since [post=7209561]it appears you have retracted that claim[/post], I will consider the matter resolved. (Though I am not sure I agree that There is no objective additional benefit from going to other Masses)

I’d say there’s certainly, possibly, a personal benefit, but I fail to see how there’s an objective benefit. This likely a speculative issue, though.
