you dip the Host in the Blood yourself?

I believe that’s not allowed…
 
If you feel comfortable with it, call your pastor’s attention to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, No. 287:
  1. If Communion from the chalice is carried out by intinction, each communicant, holding a communion-plate under the chin, approaches the priest who holds a vessel with the sacred particles, a minister standing at his side and holding the chalice. The priest takes a host, dips it partly into the chalice and, showing it, says, Corpus et Sanguis Christi (The Body and Blood of Christ). The communicant responds, Amen, receives the Sacrament in the mouth from the priest, and then withdraws.

And to Redemptionis Sacramentum 104:
  1. The communicant must not be permitted to intinct the host himself in the chalice, nor to receive the intincted host in the hand. As for the host to be used for the intinction, it should be made of valid matter, also consecrated; it is altogether forbidden to use non-consecrated bread or other matter.
 
@Miguel25 : Thank you for the link. There is a lot of interesting and informative stuff on that page.

The closest I could find to what you described was a little bit of the Precious Blood being poured on consecrated bread :

“. . . while the custom of pouring some of the Precious Blood on the consecrated bread, which was then dried by heating and reserved during a whole year for the Communion of the sick, may be considered as a kind of intinctio .”

But this does not appear to be “common practice” , except for the sick.

I moved and attended Mass at my new parish. After the priest broke the Host, he took a large piece, repeatedly dipped it in the chalice and painted the hosts in the ciboria. Is this common? Is there a name for it?

No, it’s not common practice. It’s an odd innovation which is not at all in harmony with what is supposed to be done.
 
Yes. Heard of this but never saw it. Just an FYI, as I understand it, intinction can only be done by the priest or Eucharistic minister, not the lay faithful.

Yes, intinction can always be done (always by a priest) but what the OP is describing is not intinction, but something else.

It reminds me of what some of the Eastern Churches do before they begin to distribute by intinction.

So you don’t think the practice is related to the indult?

No.

I’m certain it’s not. I’ll explain why I can be so confident in saying that.

An indult of “accommodation” means that a cleric of one ritual family (ie rite, such as Syriac) can function as a cleric of a different rite, while remaining a member of his own Church sui iuris. An “accommodation” applies to the cleric for the rest of his life, while temporary faculties apply to a given time (1 year, 5 years, 10 years, etc.).

This is exactly the same thing as a Latin Rite priest who has faculties to function as a Maronite priest for 5 years. We sometimes hear the term “bi-ritual” although that term is imprecise and misleading. Again, it’s the same thing, the only difference being that a cleric who has an “accommodation” does not need to petition to renew it every few years, but it applies to his lifetime.

A cleric who has an accommodation (or ritual faculties) also has a responsibility to avoid absolutely the mixing of the Rites.

I’m well aware of the Syriac tradition with regard to marking the Body of Christ with the Precious Blood. There is no legitimate way of doing that in the Latin Rite Mass.

An Accommodation (or temporary faculties) applies to the person. It does not apply to mixing the rituals.

Thanks Fr David. I suppose that he knows better and decided to do this anyway. There’s no need for me to “enlighten” him. There were other atypical aspects of the liturgy. I don’t really know what to think. I am coming around to where I accept that our priests don’t offer the true liturgy. It’s no wonder that the world is in such a sinful state. Sad.

As someone who was raised Catholic, I encourage you to do what I did, which is read the Bible for yourself and if you ever have questions search the Bible first for the answers first. If what the Bible says does match up with what the church says, then go with the Bible…every time!!

You may have been “raised Catholic”, but your approach here is going against Catholic teaching, and is wrong.
We don’t rely on our own interpretation of the Bible as the sole authority. That’s something done by certain Protestants,not Catholics.
 
I understand that I am on a Catholic forum. Pointing out discrepancies between Catholic practices and the Bible is not being disrespectful it’s just pointing to fact; the 2 practices do not match, so I’m asking/stating why not?
So who decided that you just needed to receive one part of the sacrament that JESUS basically laid out the foundation for? You must start with the premise that the Bible is the finally authority and whatever you do must align with the Bible. Any interpretation you make must be found and supported by the actual WORD OF GOD.
So again, until you can find an example in Bible or instructions in the Bible- the Word of God, where it says it’s ok to deviate from the separate Body and Body being taken, anything that deviated from that is sacrilege.
 
The same Church authority which codified the bible you cling to legitimately regulates the celebration and administration of the sacraments.

If the Church has the authority to canonize the bible, why do you deny her the authority over the sacraments. (Could she not, if it would satisfy you, just add the Roman Missal onto the canon of scripture? Then all these objectionable practices would be in the bible, wouldn’t they?)
 
Matthew 16:18-19 refers to the access Christ has given us to the kingdom of God and how we now have the power on earth to fight satan, not the freedom to make or change disciplines.
 
By the way, feel free to start your own thread on separate issues you have with the Catholic Church. You will probably get inundated with replies since you are on a Catholic forum but, that’s the price a person pays when you post on a forum dedicated to a different religion than your own. 😉

And where is your scriptural basis for this belief? Surely you aren’t relying on some outside authority or tradition to come to this conclusion…
