How can a church council be infallible???
Click to expand...
Church councils are infallible when the dogmas taught are ratified by the Pope. Vatican II, however, differed from other Councils. It was not a dogmatic council, but a “pasteral council”. As such, it did not engage the extraordinary magesterium, and thus did not define any new doctrines.

Pope Paul VI said the following about Vatican II: “Given the Council’s pastoral character, it avoided pronouncing in an extraordinary manner, dogmas endowed with the note of infallibility.”

Unfortunately, people treat Vatican II (the only general council that purposefully did not engage the extraordinary - infallible - magesterium), as a kind of “superdogma”. The fact of the matter is, Vatian II gave us to new dogmas at all. It was merely a pastoral council. Unfortunately, many people now disregard all that was taught prior to Vatican II, as though Vatican II “changed” the teachings of the Church, which is impossible.

Cardinal Ratzinger: “The Second Vatican Council has not been treated as a part of the entire living Tradition of the Church, but as an end of Tradition, a new start from zero. The truth is that this particular Council defined no dogma at all, and deliberately chose to remain on a modest level, as a merely pastoral council; and yet many treat it as though it had made itself into a sort of superdogma which takes away the importance of all the rest”.

USMC:
Communion in the hand is allowed today; however, the practice emerged in the 1960’s as an abuse against Church teaching.

In the 60’s and for well over 1000 years, communion in the hand was considered a sacrilege. During the 60’s some diocese began to implement this practice - that is, they began to commit was was then considered a sacrilege. The Pope came out with the encyclical addressed above to warn against the dangers of this practice.

**Unfortunatley, rather than correcting the abuse of those who committed the sacrilege (remember, at the time communion in the hand was a sacrilege), the Pope allowed them to continue. ** This resulted in other diocese following the original diocese in disobedience to the Pope. Eventually the entire Church began to implement communion in the hand, in direct oposition to the Pope. Today this abuse is the norm.

That is the way the liberals operate. They commit an abuse. When they are confronted they say to the Holy Father: But your Holiness, it is now the custom in our diocese; we can’t stop it. The Pope then caves in and allows the disobedient to get their way. Seeing this, the other liberal Bishops follow suit. Finally, the “abuse” becomes the norm.

And that is how communion in the hand came about in recent years.

I’ve re-read the posts in this thread and I can’t see anything that specifically states receiving in the hand is or was sacrilege. Maybe I missed it so could you point it out to me please. Thanks.

This thread may not have addressed that. I’ll try to find something for you and post it. In the meantime, if you do an internet search of Church documents prior to 1960 you should be able to find plenty of information.
