Use of Mustum

Please review this article from 2003. It seems to imply that Mustum can be used for the lay faithful.

I always thought that Mustum could be used as valid matter by the priest - however could not be offered to the faithful.

Since we don’t have to receive from the Chalice, I think the lay person having to use mustum would be a rather rare bird. You’d have to have a person who is both alcoholic and has either celiac disease or an allergy to wheat. It would seem from that document that such a person could approach the priest and request mustum – though I would think that most Catholics who don’t frequent boards like these have no clue that there is such a thing as mustum.

Take a look at the cited article – way down at the bottom, there’s a chart that outlines the use of low-gluten hosts and mustum. It doesn’t say “low gluten tolerance and low alcohol tolerance” as requirements for the use of mustum by laity: if you can handle gluten, but not alcohol, you can still request the use of mustum.

Of course, the local ordinary is the one to grant permission, unless he has already delegated the right to grant permission to the pastor.

The proper course of action, then, is to talk to one’s pastor about it.

Would make sense if a person is on his/her deathbed and can only be fed fluids, mustum makes more sense. Although I wonder why the Latin tradition forbids the adding of water when it is common in the Byzantine Rite.

How much water – there is the symbolic water added before the Consecration. Depending on the priest that can be more rather than less.

A lot. youtu.be/RfGfZkpYa9w Follow from 1:38
And this happens after consecration, not before. There is the little water added by the priest to the cup during proskomide. Then at around the 3:08 mark, very briefly shown, the deacon puts the water in the chalice.
