More emotionalist and irrelevant malarkey,...

You sound more like a Reformist who doesn't believe in the True Presence than you do a Catholic.

From the article:

That of the mind is defined by Bossuet as: ‘The recognition of God’s Highest Sovereignty, and of our own most profound dependence’. The attitude to be adopted by the body, by contrast, when we are in God’s presence, that is to say when we are before Our Lord Jesus Christ in church, has been established by Holy Mother Church in tems of silence, genuflections, kneeling, and deep bows. To receive Holy Communion, more precisely, it is necessary to kneel at the Communion rail and communicate on the tongue.

This second practice, introduced in the first centuries A.D. and established for the Church Universal over a thousand years ago, was abolished by the so-called ‘Reformers’ in the 16th. century. As quoted in our book ‘The Destruction of the Roman Rite, the apostate Dominican Martin Bucer states in his ‘Censura’: ‘It becomes our duty to abolish from the churches... with all purity of doctrine, any form of bread-adoration that they wish the antichrists to use and maintain in the hearts of the simpler people’. Such were the reasons for which the Reformers Zwingli and Calvin also imposed Communion standing and in the hand. Communion in the hand was subsequently to become a mile-stone in the denial of the Catholic dogma of the Real Presence.

In the 1960’s the same practice was introduced into the Catholic Church by priests in central Europe as an act of defiance against Rome, some say as a reaction to the encyclical Humanae Vitae. The practice, as we well know, proceeded to expand throughout the Catholic world.

This isn’t about ancient history...it is about disease control. I could give a **** about Zwingli, or Reformers. How about sticking to the topic?? But then, I no more expect honest debate from you than I do from Calgeone.
