no, you referred to how “they made the mode of reception a bit uh protestant.” There were times in Church history when the Laity received from the Chalice–that is my understanding. Long before there were protestants.
and as to your little quote up there, you certainly should be applauded, commended, respected and looked up to as a master of the whole Canonical situation. Yes you should!
I wasn’t joking and it isn’t a bad thing. We can receive only the Precious Body. We don’t have to receive both. And I have a personal reason. One I’m not willing to share with you. You lost me anyway. What I said had nothing to do with receiving more then twice a day.

Now, can we please get back on topic?Of course I don’t have to share it with you. I felt I had to respond to that persons response to my post. I am all for getting back on topic. And I apologize.You don’t have to share it with us, just so long as it’s a good reason
.Not going to lie I have done this…first it was Peter…then i thought about St. Malachy…another sign you are a Traditonal Catholic…and changed it to Gregorius…
sorry to go off topic but what should Catholics feel towrds that movie? boycott it, view it and then try to discuss the problem? Is it anti-catholic?This actually happened to me too just a couple of months ago. I had to restrain myself from a strong urge to genuflect before entering the row of seats at the movie theater. Maybe it was because it was going to see “Doubt,” so I was feeling extra Catholic. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one
I really don’t understand this…You’re the only one bowing his head during part of the creed at an OF mass (it could also be argued this makes you the only functionally literate person there, too
So true at my church . . .
LOL . . . happens alot at my house
I think this has more to do with the priest, altar servers, and those training the altar servers. I am a convert, and was never told to bow at that point. We were just told to basically follow everyone else. It wasn’t until my son went through altar server training that I learned about it. I have been doing it every since. Now, it is in the missal, but who really reads that part of the missal? I mean, once you know the words, there is no reason to do that. We are blessed in that our priest and all of the altar servers do bow their heads at this point. Now, not everyone does it, but they are a great example of what we should do. So, if your priest doesn’t do it, then how would you realize that you were supposed to if no one had ever told you to?
When the ‘conservative’ views you as ‘radical’, ‘modern’, or ‘fundamentalist’. (Which all seem to be synonyms nowadays). Sometimes they unfortunately do not realize that what seems to be modern is actually something old.
There is nothing new under the sun. :tanning:Hang on. I’m a fairly died-in-the-wool OF-er, I bow my head during the creed. I couldn’t tell you if anyone else does because … d’uh, my head is bowed! Although I know that EVERYONE genuflects on those feasts in the OF when this is done during the creed, so you never know …
Hmm… maybe its just my parish then.Hang on. I’m a fairly died-in-the-wool OF-er, I bow my head during the creed. I couldn’t tell you if anyone else does because … d’uh, my head is bowed! Although I know that EVERYONE genuflects on those feasts in the OF when this is done during the creed, so you never know …
So anyway, the question is if YOU are bowing as you should, then how do you know if others are or aren’t?
We Australians tend to be a slightly different breed - at least to the point where we don’t usually give people the stinkeye in church.
