Problem is:
1.) Then people say let’s receive in the hand. Pope St. Eutychian (275-283) forbade the faithful from taking the Sacred Host in their hand.
St. Basil the Great, Doctor of the Church (330-379): “The right to receive Holy Communion in the hand is permitted only in times of persecution.
The Synod of Rouen (650)
Condemned Communion in the hand to halt widespread abuses that occurred from this practice, and as a safeguard against sacrilege.
The Council of Rouen (650): “Do not put the Eucharist in the hands of any layman or laywoman but *only in their mouths.”
The Sixth Ecumenical Council, at Constantinople (680-681)
Forbade the faithful to take the Sacred Host in their hand, threatening transgressors with excommunication.
2.) Then it’s let’s not have veils. (St. Paul spoke about wonen wearing veils).
3.) Then it’s let’s let unconsecrated hands touch the sacred vessels even though St. Sixtus 1 (c. 115) said: “The Sacred Vessels are not to be handled by others than those consecrated to the Lord.”
4.) Then it’s let’s let women do readings even though St. Paul wrote in the Sacred Scripture that women were to keep silent in the churches nor usurp authority over men (1 Cor. 14: 34-35; 1 Tim 2:12).
5.) Then its... ... ... on and on ad infinitum.
Sacred Tradition can be dismantled as #5 shows and then we see Sacred Scripture also being challenged with Jorge Bergoglio saying women can do readings in church when we can see what St. Paul said in #4.
See why we need to do what the popes of The Council of Trent said and the popes from then all the way up to V2?
Now we have Bergoglio saying the church agrees with Luther on justification when this is false.
Agreed.
Foreswore receiving the Most Holy Sacrament in the hand years ago (as well as receiving from unconsecrated hands). Determined that receiving in that way was horrific and sacrilegious. Have never reconsidered that conclusion. Priests in the local parish do not appreciate a member of the faithful who drops both knees to the floor to receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity on his tongue.
This has been particularly true during the current “pandemic” during which receipt on the tongue was supposedly banned by the local Ordinary (the ban was just lifted this month). Not particularly concerned about their discomfort.
Perhaps the practice of receiving the Holy Sacrament of the Altar on the tongue will be banned again, once and for all, and for good, on the strength of Bergoglio’s recent utterance deemed a Motu Proprio. Will cross that bridge if and when it appears.
