Hi All,

I'm new on here, so be gentle!!

First, Great thread .... How any person can accept Communion without absolutely trembling in reverence is beyond me! This is the Body of Christ, we should be on our knees before him.

One thing which I was taught is that a Catholic is obedient to the Church and loyal to the Magesterium. Anyone who is not, and is trying to "change" the Church to fit their own notions of how the Church should be, is not a Catholic in my opinion!

I have long been an advocate of only receiving the Sacred Host. It makes me shudder to see how some EEM's wave the Precious Blood around .... I have seen people be more careful with a glass of coke. GRRRRRRRRR

Finally, with Lent well underway, please Prayerfully consider pledging your Prayers for the Holy Souls in Purgatory at http://www.MTEP.com (Mission To Empty Purgatory)

God Bless You,
Steve

And what do you do when the people who are trying to "change" the Church have infiltrated into positions of authority?

"is not a Catholic in my opinion!"

It might be more accurate to call them bad Catholics than not Catholic.

Kind of defeats the purpose of being Catholic, doesn't it?

As have I. If this is one of the directives, I expect to see it regularly ignored. I walk by the EEMs holding the cups all the time. So do many others.

Another thing I would advocate, that is being noticed where I go to church is after the singing of the recessional is done, kneel for a while and give prayers of thanksgiving. From some people you get wierd looks, but they generally will leave you be. The priests do notice, though.
