Upset about something, but what?

Calling it a “mock” communion rite, is propably an improper use of terminology. A “practice” communion rite would be more like it. And if you visit any seminary and ask them, there are practice masses said all the time by seminarians and this includes the words of institution.

Remember, the sacrament is matter, form and intent.

Everything else God has given us it is trinitarian in nature.

God = Father, Son, Spirit
Our Faith = Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium
Our Sacraments = Matter, Form, Intent

In the scenario above I see that 2 things were missing from the “practice” communion, matter and intent. So since they were missing, and I highly doubt that the choir leader had any intent, it was a simple practice rite.

And of course, since neither the director nor the seminarians were ordained, they simply didn’t have the authority to consecrate the elements, even if they had wished to.

Had the choir leader, had the intention of actually doing communion it still wouldn’t have mattered because SHE is not proper matter.

As for those that doubt “practice” masses occur

Well, matter has to do with whether or not a person or thing can be used for the sacrament, not whether they can use it. Rice cakes are invalid matter for the Eucharist, and women are improper matter for ordination.
