A MASSGOER who objected to receiving the Eucharist on his tongue at a Latin Mass in Co Mayo had to be restrained when his protests led to a scuffle in the church. The incident at Knock Shrine was described by the Latin Mass Society of Ireland as “sad” and “disturbing”.

the article:
Fr Wulfran Lebocq, who was assisting on the altar, quietly told the communicant to take communion on his tongue. This is in accordance with the traditional Latin rite.

According to onlookers, the communicant told the priest: “You’re in Ireland now”.

Before being restrained, the communicant grabbed a host from the ciborium, and in the process the host fell on the floor.

Yikes.

I realize some people have strong opinions on the subject, but perhaps this is going too far? 😦
 
It sounds like it was an appropriate response. In the article, it said the man reached out into the ciborium and grabbed a host. This is a sacrilege and ushers responded as they should. I guess it is possible the man was mentally unstable, or maybe it was some dimonstration. In either case, escorting him out is appropriate.

Actually I read on the Rorate Caeli blog (which had some comments from eyewitnesses) that this individual is actually a laicized priest.

It’s just another case of Progressives who want to oppress and destroy the Extraordinary Form. Too bad that this individual was evidently willing to go as far as sacrilege inasmuch as he manhandled our Lord’s Most Precious Body.

that is what i thought. well, the reason he did this is because he doesnt believe none of it anyway. so i am not surprised that the devil mingle around to cause more scandals and test our Faith.
