I don’t need to. Enough evidence has been presented to prove particles fall to the ground from CITH and the risk of desecration is substantially increased.
No. Because when the priest genuflects at consecration, every one of us is kneeling. Except maybe some of the elder people, but thats understandable.
The other line is the EMHC’s and they have their own problems of congestion that only exacerbate problems in the receiving area. Very sloppy.
Sorry, no matter how much you deny it, the indult came from the Church. Every approval of the indult comes with a Recognito of the Holy See.
Your point?
Not in every Mass. That’s why breaking from tradition and uniformity causes such grief.
Who initiated the indult?
I see. We have two lines for the priest in the middle. The two EMHCs take the sides. I always sit in the middle because there are posts in our church that if you sit on the sides may obstruct your view. So unless the middle pews are full, I never sit on the sides.
Ockham said the indult is not approved by the Church. A Recognito by the Holy See is the approval of the Church.
Well I’m not at every Mass, I can’t pretend to speak for everyone
Only the Church can give an indult
Sure I can. I just did. If Christ is truly present in the host then changing over to CITH, standing, from a laywoman (+/- a bow) makes no sense.
No offense, but who gave you that authority?
Our EMHCs are very careful and they wash their hands afterwards the same way the priest would.
Errr … it’s an internet forum?
But I gathered from a previous poster that the priest does it before distribution? Also, the lay receivers can’t/don’t do any washing.
If you’re stating it as a matter of your opinion, then I accept that its your opinion
They also do it before. I didn’t bring it up because your concern is about the crumbs which obviously is not present in their hands before distribution.
But slow down here, deacons do not perform the ritual either and they have the right to distribute communion. They are ordinary ministers of Holy Communion. Therefore, it is not the intention of the Church that only those who wash their hand and recite the ritual prayer distribute communion. It never was. Priests concelebrating do not was their hands either and they too distribute Communion. The point is that the prayer and the ritual is not tied into the distribution of Communion. The six rites and the 22 Catholic Churches that make up the universal Catholic Church have deacons distributing communion since the Apostolic age. The ritual has never been tied in to the ministry of Holy Communion. It was meant for the celebrant.
You’re very welcome. That’s my job. That was the mission given to me by my founder and my constitutions.
No one is supposed to deny you the sacrament, because you choose to kneel and receive on the tongue. If they do, you have every right to complain to the pastor and then to the chancery.
Dunno. I wipe wipe my rear-end and pick my nose with my hand. I’m careful about what I put in my mouth. So I’d say COTT is the safer option.
