Theologian: Shared Communion With Protestants Would be Blasphemy and Sacrilege

National Catholic Register ^ | January 2, 2017 | Edward Pentin

[Repent and Believe]

“...As a Catholic, I will defend Protestant Christians, but I believe that there are Protestants who will not defend me.”

That’s quite a vague statement. Can you clarify how you will defend Protestants? Against what?

Will you as a Catholic attack heresy? Or is it not loving for a doctor to tell a patient they are too fat and need to cut down on carbohydrates, cigarettes, and need to exersize more?

Drawing on the Church’s teaching based on Sacred Scripture and Tradition, Msgr. Nicola Bux, a former consulter to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stressed that non-Catholic Christians must have undertaken baptism and confirmation in the Catholic Church, and repented of grave sin through sacramental confession, in order to be able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.

Apparently this guy (as well as the author) knows nothing about the 1983 Code of Canon Law where JPII codified Vatican II and allowed non-Catholics to receive communion WITHOUT conversion. The 1917 Code of Canon Law and prior FORBID such communion without conversion.

This door was already opened. Wake up.

and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26

For a group that claims they never change....that's quite a change.

>>“...Jesus is “under” no one besides His Heavenly Father.<<

>>...”and errors and heresies in Protestantism?”..... That Jesus is the way the truth and the life..... and not earthy men?...”<<

Counter to your suggestion, the above comments are Catholic dogma. Protestants happen to claim to ascribe to them as well.

There are dogmas, however, where we differ.

However, some catholics believe: O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and Refuge of Sinners, we consecrate ourselves to thy Immaculate Heart. We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life: all that we have, all that we love, all that we are. To thee we give our bodies, our hearts, and our souls; to thee we give our homes, our families and our country. http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=438

You cannot love "mary" with all your body, heart and souls and be in compliance with the Greatest Commandment.

Roman Catholicism is in error....again due to its insistent worship of Mary.

There is fault on both sides, no doubt.

[pax_et_bonum]

Thank you.

Protestants are my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I do my best to follow Jesus’ commandment to love one another as He has loved us.

We all choose the way we share our faith and I choose to share mine in a loving way, almost never in a confrontational way, because arguing usually sows more anger and discord than understanding.

[pax_et_bonum]

The arguing is what gets old to me.

That lying phrase was added in the 4th century.

At no time have Yeshua’s followers been called christians.

Christians are followers of the sungod’s pontifex maximus, Constantine.

It doesn’t matter whether they are catholics or protesting catholics, christianity is not the way of Yeshua HaMachiac.

Yeshua’s way is what he personally taught, as told in the gospels: Torah. That is affirmed by the day to day description of their lives revealed in the Acts.

Acts speaks of the keeping of the appointed feasts of Yehova, and the keeping of his Sabbath. Everything in the Acts is so centered.

New believers were given a beginner’s level of instructions contingent on their hearing Moses read in their synagogue every Sabbath day, so that they would each learn the way at their own speed.

You have verifiable proof of this assertion?

[MIA_eccl1212]

"christianity is not the way of Yeshua HaMachiac."

Blasphemy. Pure and simple.

[editor-surveyor]

.
Its not found in the early MS.

[editor-surveyor]

Correct, christianity is basically blasphemy.

It adds commandments of men, and subtracts that which Yeshua preached.

If you're Protestant then you're not eating the Body of Christ, you're just eating some empty carbs in what is simply a memorized act.

I ate the body of Christ two times in times past...I have never been a Catholic...Never will be...

Some priest turned a wafer into Jesus Christ and I got in line with my Catholic girl friend and the priest fed me Jesus...Apparently Jesus didn't mind...

[ealgeone]

Need proof of your assertion.

[Iscool]

(Remember, the “Catholic” faith MEANS the “universal” faith. As in, there is no other.

Naw, they duped you...The word catholic has nothing to with Christianity or religion...

Example of catholic in a sentence

She is a novelist who is catholic in her interests.

: comprehensive, universal; especially : broad in sympathies, tastes, or interests

Catholic with a capital 'C' is something entirely different...It is the name of a specific religion which is not the 'universal' religion of the scriptures...

[Iscool]

Jesus first and foremost gave us the Church, vested with authority. It is the Church that gave us the scriptures, (years after the ascension of our Lord.)

When your first two statements are wrong, nothing you can say after can be right...

Jesus didn't give us the 'Church'...Jesus gave us the church, as in churches...The first church was in Jerusalem...A Jewish church...The leader was James...A Jew...There were no Gentiles...No Catholics...

[Iscool]

The early writings of the saints are clear. For example, one of the earliest, St Ignatius of Antioch:

The writing of Ignatius as well as many other Catholic historians have been proven to be forgeries; lies...

[Iscool]

Yeshua’s last supper was a meal of barley loaf and wine, in which he simply asked that whenever we have the barley loaf and wine, we do it in remembrance of him.

But not just in remembrance of him...In remembrance of his broken body and shed blood; his Crucifixion...

Communion itself is blasphemy.
It has no basis in scripture.

Perhaps it depends on what your definition of communion and is, is...If a group of Christians come together and are partaking of bread and wine for the purpose of remembering the Crucifixion after first cleansing their/our hearts, it is called communion...Like commune...A commune of people with like interests...
