Gumbleton.

How few people remember that Holy Communion is the only Sacrament that comes to us with both a blessing and an explicit curse:

1 Corinthians 11:27
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

"Guilty of the body and blood of the Lord." Blood guilt for the unworthy reception of this Sacrament.

And what does (retired) Bishop Gumbleton say?

"Hey, no big deal."

Lord, have mercy on us all.

"Guilty of the body and blood of the Lord." Blood guilt for the unworthy reception of this Sacrament.

What's that mean???
