Does your parish use a Paten during Communion?

Dr. Bombay:

Now, mom. That’s how those crazy internet rumors get started. :tsktsk: “Hey, did ya hear Bombay’s been assaulting people with a paten?”

After all, I have a mystique to protect.

Well, when you’re a legend, sometimes BIG stories go around about you.
Like Paul Bunyan, ya know!

Our parish always uses a paten and communion rail, and nearly everyone takes communion on the tongue.

You mean you missed the big debate on how to multiply and divide? forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=89533&highlight=calculator
I got the same answer as Dr Bombay, so we must have been taught the same kind of grade 4 math

Yeah, now that I have traced through the other threads, I understand.

I am also inclined to believe that it is somewhere below 1,200,000 but that’s ofr another day…

Dr. Bombay:

Some would claim that’s how many Traditionalists there are in the world. Don’t know where they get that number, but there it is.

Another interesting fact…apparently .10 is completely different than .10%. At least in Australia it is. I don’t know about elsewhere. :nope:

Can’t help you there. I’ve got an English translation of the 1962 Rubrics and there doesn’t appear to be any type of posture for reception specified that I’ve seen. Of course, I could’ve overlooked it.

Well, then, do you have recourse to the indult for receiving in the hand? If it does not specifiy that it is an indult only to the normative rite, then it would apply to both; at which point, between you and the priest, there would appear to be the same sort of response that was made to those who refused to receive standing; a challenge to the communicant to receive the way the priest chooses to distribute or not receive at all.

As in, playing tit for tat, as if that were a charitible response.

Or a legal one.

Again with the charity! What is that? There are two other primary theological virtues too, ya know.

There was nothing uncharitable about what I did. I just stood there holding the paten. I didn’t call them stupid, I didn’t whack them upside the head, I didn’t sneer at them, I didn’t even raise an eyebrow.

And no one has yet disputed that, at Mass, uniformity of posture is the Most Important Thing. It’s even in the GIRM. Therefore, I reiterate, at a TLM the uniform posture is receiving on the tongue.
