SÃO PAULO – During a funeral Mass of a major figure in the Brazilian Church on August 28, a Muslim sheikh ended up receiving communion, sparking controversy among part of the local community and traditionalist Catholics all over Brazil, who called what happened a “sacrilege.”
Cardinal Geraldo Majella Agnelo, who played a central role in the Brazilian Church for several decades, died on August 26. He was the archbishop of Londrina, Paraná state, for many years, until he took over the Archdiocese of Salvador, becoming the primate of Brazil.
Agnelo, one of the founders of the Child Pastoral Ministry in Brazil, took part in the conclaves which elected Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. In his final years, after retirement, he moved back to Londrina.
Commemorations of his passing included several Masses, and the controversial incident occurred during one led by Archbishop Geremias Steinmetz, a couple of hours before Agnelo’s burial.

That would be a sacrilege. There is no question here. The Bishop should know it is.
The worldwide norm for receiving the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar; the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, Christ of the Father, is on the tongue while kneeling.
Reception in the hand while standing is, always and everywhere where it takes place with the knowledge and permission of the local ordinary, is the exception to this norm, occurring by way of an “indult” granted by Rome in accordance with certain conditions.
The conditions are failing where such indults are in place.
It’s time to eliminate these indults. This muslim sheikh, knowing inherently what the posture demonstrates, what it unmistakably expresses, would NEVER have knelt to receive on the tongue. Problem solved.
Probably one of Bergoglio’s ‘synodal” progressives. Being from Brazil he may be an Amazon idol worshipper.
Wow, a muslim who accepts Christ as the son of God.
That’s not something you see every day.
It's like ... fusion cuisine.
Of course, the bishop knows it; this was a deliberate and profane assault upon our Blessed Savior.
yep, that is a sacrilege.
The atheist pope has many evil followers. This is the result of one of them.
Nope. The sheik only said Jesus Christ was a "prophet".
Communion is unbiblical anyway, so there’s no problem.
So the Last Supper is not in your “bible”?
Then what was he consuming a communion, and why?
They let muslims take communion but not protestants?
In his defense, he wasn’t Catholic
Well, neither is The Pope.
The Catholic Church has always taught that only Catholics in a state of grace, may receive Holy Communion.
FYI, there are plenty of apostate cardinals, bishops and priests in Bergoglio's Frankenchurch and they go unpunished by the very man who has rejected the title of "Vicar of Christ".
Guess who he's the vicar of, if not Jesus Christ?
Not to mention an act of apostasy by the shiek. And the muslim penalty for apostasy is death!
“ They” = Catholic church
Well then, you’re wrong.
