Our Pastor suggested that Adam was 'slothful' BEFORE the Fall. Curious, eh?
Later, he referred to the 'both species' as 'the fullness' of the reception of the Body and Blood of Christ.
So 'the half-ness' is the consecrated Host...
His problem is that he has a heavily rhetoricized "altar-call" sermon model, which lends to flourishes. He doesn't think--he just speaks.
There were others, less striking. We all giggle about them, but we don't really need this, in combination with all the rest.
I am much better acquainted with the Old Rite community than you can ever imagine.
Yeah, those are curious things to say, especially since Adam was charged by God to be a caretaker of the garden prior to the Fall and also endowed with Original Justice and the gifts of the Holy Spirit upon his creation.
And one of the reasons for the long standing tradition of the reception of Eucharist under the species of bread alone (Old Rite) was to emphasize the fact that the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ are entirely present in each species. That being said, for a valid Eucharistic celebration, wine must also be consecrated and confected in the celebration.
I have to say that I sympathize with you with regard to these mistakes.
