Why would it prevent anyone from receiving? All you would have to do is tell the Priest and he won’t dip the Host. Simple

Intinction would prevent me from receiving. I am glad that my parish does not do it.

I have Celiac Disease. Because of that, I can not receive the host. I must only receive from the Cup. And I must only receive from a non-Presider’s Cup.

May the mingling of the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.

The priest only does this with the presiders cup. He takes a piece of the the host and places it in the cup. He also wipes his fingers over the cup to brush off any crumbs. All of this happens over and in the presiders cup.

So, all of that gluten is in the presiders cup and I can not have it.
 
I recieved by intinction only once. I LOVED it.

It is a very intimate way to recieve.

Most people live in a fast paced world. Slowing down to recieve Christ helps us (okay, helped me;) ) to focus on Christ and set it apart from our normal fast paced lives.

Intinction can’t be rushed.
 
As long as the priest does the intinction it sounds great. However in the Episcopal churches I have attended (numerous when I was an Episcopalian) the individual dipped their own.
Anyone want fingers with your wine? YUCK!!!:banghead: :nope: :tsktsk: :bigyikes:

Where is the gluten in the host, on the outside of it inside?

Sounds like you have an extremely sensitive case. I’m sorry to hear that. How did you manage prior to the laity receiving the Blood?
 
I believe that if Rome has said intinction is forbidden in the west then obedience is called for, regardless of whether the practice could be reverent.

Rome does not forbid intinction done properly, ie only by the priest

Rome forbids self intinction, as do all the rites where intinction is the usual method of communicating the faithful

I agree and wish to highlight your observation that in all things obedience is the highest virtue, and mother of all the other virtues.

I like the idea of intinction. However I think that it prevents people who have alcohol allergies from receiving (I know several).

As with the current norms, there can be exceptions. In the Byzantine Rite where I now belong, the bread is mixed with the blood. Its not so much intincted as in dipped, but fully immersed. Its the norm in the Rite. But there are those who are alcoholics, or who have celiac disease. So arrange with the priest prior to Divine Liturgy and he will set aside something for you, either the bread alone or the wine alone. I’m pretty sure in the Latin Rite, if intinction becomes the norm, then the same can be done.
 
Thank you for the clarification Puzzleannie! I’m familiar with communion in the eastern rites but didn’t know a Latin rite priest was permitted to practice intinction. Is this only for himself or may he distribute to the faithful in this manner as well?

The priest may not intinct for himself. He may only do so when giving Communion to others.
 
At Mass for All Saints, at the Communion of the Priest, the Priest presiding, intincted for himself, also scooping out the small piece of host from the Chalice with his piece of Host. Then he communicated himself the intincted Host and then received from the Chalice. He was offering the Novus Ordo in the Latin Rite.
I asked him about his intinction. He claimed he was permitted thus:
  1. He is also Marionite.
  2. All priests may intinct only the faithful may not do so themselves. He also added that he scoops Jesus out of the chalice as a means of preparing the chalice for the faithful so no one thinks someone “spit back”
    True or not true? Right or wrong?
 
It is unfortunate that a priest would not educate his faithful regarding the small piece of host in the precious blood, and instead assume they are stupid and think someone “spit back”. If someone is taught why the small remnant is there, they would never think such a thing.

Liza, I wholeheartedly agree and I honstly think most of us know that the remnant is there. I was shocked by his practices and his explanation continues to nag at me.

They can distribute to the faithful.

From a letter to the US Bishops by Cardinal Arzine, then Prefect for the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Dicipline of the Sacraments.
Sometimes, however, the high number of communicants may render it inadvisable for everyone to drink from the chalice (cf. Redemptionis Sacramentum, no. 102). intinction with reception on the tongue always and everywhere remains a legitimate option, by virtue of the general liturgical law of the Roman Rite.

As Puzzledanne noted, what is forbidden is for a person to SELF Intinct; recieving the Host from the minister and then intincting it into the chalice.

A celebrating, or concelebrating priest may intinct, though most to not, as they also should recieve from the chalice.

I’m not too sure of this extends to a priest attending Mass ‘in choir’, ie not concelebrating. Though that is very rare in the Ordinary Form.
