“I have read postings of some traditionalist that we should not be accepting the Blood of Christ from the Chalice, but if we do receive the Blood of Christ then it should be via Intinction. I don’t know why that is and have been trying to find out.”
It may have to do with touching the chalice. In Orthodoxy, the laity cannot touch the chalice and if I recall correctly, that was the rule in the Latin Church prior to Vatican II.
When we Orthodox receive communion, it is from a golden spoon, the priest having mingled the consecrated “Lamb” with the Blood . Because the Latin Church uses azymes, there really isn’t any way to effectively “commingle” the Body and Blood and thus the intinction.
But what if they don’t do it?
Would people fight over it?
**Would people fight over it?**
Many people have died for Christ. Hence — all the Catholic martyrs.
I haven’t ever been in a situation like this, but a friend has. She went to the person’s house the next day, got the host and then consumed it.
But what is the wafer while it is in the company of the thief?
It is still the Consecrated Bread, the Body of Christ. That does not change.
Are you familiar with Eucharistic miracles?
BLOOD TYPE FOUND IN ICONS IS SAME AS IN SHROUD OF TURIN AND 'LANCIANO MIRACLE'
Physician Tells of Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano -Verifies Authenticity of the Phenomenon
Eucharistic Miracle - Bolsena-Orvieto, Italy
No, I am not familiar with this subject at all.
I appreciate your answers.
Check out some of those links. They are amazing. Especially Lanciano.
If Bishop Schneider was really a “Thuc line Bishop,” he would NOT accept the ‘primacy’ of JPII, Benedict XVI, John XIII, which he clearly states he does, as they are all antipopes.
Archbishop Ngo dinh Thuc STATED CLEARLY THAT THE SEAT OF PETER IS VACANT!
Therefore all these so-called ‘Thuc line Bishops,’ are ipso facto excommunicated, IF they ever were ever validly ordained and consecrated in the first place. There are but three TRUE Bishops remaining in the Church today - Christ has NOT abandoned His flock - but pride, pride, disobedient pride of mankind’s fallen human nature will NOT accept that.
Humility is the gretest of the virtues from which all others proceed - NO ONE is in Heaven who will not truly humble themselves - but the world violently rejects that today, to their ultimate destruction.
I’m sorry if that offends all the “Traditionalists,” but Truth is Truth. The grace of my Confirmation requires me to defend the Faith, no matter what!
