I agree. I also think that a person whose understanding is hazy can more easily be led to misunderstanding if the mode of reception is more like that of ordinary food.
I agree with you on that point. I also happen to think that the approval for reception in the hand unfortunately took place when several of the clergy were either ignorantly or disobediently following their own interpretations of Vatican II.
“”The priest is not an “officer of the Church,” but “another Christ:.””
The word would be heteros—another of a different kind. Like the heteros gospel in Galations.
The word could also be the Greek word we transliterate, “Antichrist.” In the sense of, ‘Instead of Christ.”
So referring to a man as, “Another Christ.” is inimical to the teachings of the New Testament.
A child who receives First Communion like a baby bird receiving food from his parent immediately knows how intimate a thing he/she is doing.
