[Salvation]

Always receive the Eucharist on your tongue.

Don’t believe me?

Read the book by Maria Simma about the Poor Souls in Purgatory — “Get Us Out of Here!”

This reminds me of people saying, when I say I believe the lost are destroyed (don’t suffer for eternity) they say I’m listening to false teaching that tickles the ear because it’s too “easy”.

My response is, “Yeah, and what do you call the ‘saved by grace’ message?”

i.e. Jesus and the apostles made it very clear what communion was all about: As often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me.

My wife and I do it at home sometimes after a meal. It’s between us and Jesus.

When the Latin was gone and the Eucharist was put in hand and I had to shake hands with someone of unknown cleanliness, I started to withdraw.

On your tongue from consecrated hands.

[Skywise]

As an abandoned episcopal - I don’t see much difference from kneeling and receiving the Eucharist in the hand vs on the tongue.

I agree there’s a difference in intimacy and for that I do think all should drink from a shared chalice vs a plate of Dixie cups for the wine...

But then I was an episcopalian so I was always a communion is symbolic kinda guy!

I’m more interested in the inward spiritual grace. Outward signs a little less.

I have recently read and understood the importance of receiving the Host on the tongue.

The convincing phrase was “Consecrated Hands”.

It means not only does the Body of Christ only touch the Priests hands, but that I not touch the Chalice either, so I no longer take the wine.

This also means that I make an effort to get in the line to receive from the Priest, and NOT the extraordinary ministers, as their hands are NOT “Consecrated”.

It is not always possible to get into the line with a Priest, but we should make that effort.

Can there be stupider argument to have?

Probably.

But not many...

This type of liturgical silliness distracts us from the more important ways God speaks to us in our daily lives.

Good Lord! is this a Christian religion? They worship the process but ignore the substance of Christ’s teaching.

As a recovering Catholic, now on the outside looking in, I often shake my head at the weird stuff I was brainwashed into thinking has any importance at all.

I now know God directly, and my life has never been better. I have peace and joy.

I don’t go to church, ever. Not needed.

From article: May no priest dare to impose his authority in this matter by refusing or mistreating those who wish to receive Communion kneeling and on the tongue. In my Parish (70 years old) the Altar rails have been removed and they don't provide even one prie-dieu. A visiting priest refused to offer Communion to a woman who kneeled, saying that she "Chose to draw attention to herself, due to her false piety." We knew this woman, her husband, and her three children were all devout, dedicated, Catholics. Shocking, to say the least! The visiting priest was never invited back, but even some members of what we call the 'varsity' (old timers/traditionalists) now accept Communion in the hand from our priest, because they know it is his preference. He is a great priest, and a hero to many, but unfortunately he entered Seminary at the worst possible time...

I remind everyone that this is marked as:

>>CATHOLIC CAUCUS<<

Sarah reappears to fire another salvo. He's been largely silent since Francis rebuked him over Sarah's ad orientam appeal and then his congregation was gutted by Francis while leaving Sarah in charge.

It's clear that his silence is not the silence of one who is intimidated.

It was the soon to be canonized Pope Paul VI who allowed this abuse of the Precious Body and Blood of Christ to flourish.

In the hand doesn't really work for us.
