Papal Mass at Nationals Stadium illustrates Problems within U.S

"At the start of the Mass, Arroyo and the priest commentator explained that the correct title for Eucharistic Ministers… is “Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister”. "

Mr. Arroyo was wrong. The proper term for lay persons who distribute Communion is ‘Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion’.

Maybe it is different when you are the one on the receiving end…

Speaking as one who has received applause, it was an embarrassment. I wanted to throw the cowl of my alb over my head and slink away as did many of my brothers and sisters in our choir. Non nobis nomine Domini sed dexteris tuatha gloria.

And in the context in which they were speaking, the difference in the title is?

Eucharistic Ministers are priests and bishops…the ones to consecrate the Eucharist. Therefore, there really isn’t such a thing as Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers.

Now, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion can be lay people to distribute communion. But ordinary ministers of Holy Communion would be deacons, priests and bishops.

Quite a bit of difference.

Extraordinary Eucharistic minister, isn’t a Bishop, priest or deacon, because they would be ordinary ministers. so it only leaves, lay people. Although Aryo didn’t get the title exact, he was correct in the meaning.

I think your argument is merely a matter of semantics.
