It would seem then —you may not believe Jesus is present in the crumbs.

I believe our Lord words were – “Take this all of you etc”. He did not say stick out your hand — then pick Me up with the other hand and put Me in your mouth–either.

He didn’t put the bread in their mouths either, did He?

Well, did He?

Maybe He did — maybe He didn’t. The ones actually present with Him are gone. Outside of His words—neither you or I know what happened.

Then what possible difference does it make? One way or the other is just as good, if we don’t know which way He did it.

I guess it comes down to what form better reflects our belief that He is truly present and that we receive Him --who is our Lord and God --in a manner different from how we receive change at the store.
 
Instead of going back and forth like this, lets look at what the Church teaches. It teaches that no way is preferred over the other. This is disciplinary, not dogma. If you prefer on the tongue, thats OK. If you prefer in the hand, thats OK, (where the indult has been granted.) Until and unless it is changed back to the tongue only. Both are equally acceptable. Whether you receive on the tongue or the hand is not what is important. What is important is the interior disposition with which you receive Our Lord and Our God in this Most Blessed Sacrament which is the source and summit of all that we believe as Catholic. One single Communion gives more grace and merit than ***ALL ***of the combined sacrifices offered in the Old Testament. Don’t worry tongue or hand, worry whats in your heart and on your soul when you receive.

The Church does not break it down that way.

Some think they are better than the HMC?

Namesake asked me —therefore I gave my view. To me-- Not receiving our Lord the way I receive change at a store – better reflects that He is my Lord and my God.

Please consider using ‘my’ or similiar wording rather than ‘our’ which gives a different impression.

I was under the impression that it was “our” belief that our Lord is truly present — but I will refrain from including you next time.
