They give communion to the people who fund abortions, why NOT this guy.
No. Period.
Oh, he didn’t eat it? Why didn’t you say so?!? So the good Archbishop admits to the grave sin of desecration of the Eucharist. I’m sure Frankie is going to come down hard /s
You have a point.
I wonder if his coreligionists will put him to the sword when they hear of his accepting the body and blood of Christ.
The Church is lost.
In most traditional Christianity, communion was received in conjunction with an acceptance of Jesus as Christ. Minus that acceptance, communion is being recieved falsely.
Even when persons from one Christian denomination is given communion in another Christian demonomiation that basis of understading I just mentioned is assumed to be in play. That cannot be the case with any practicing Muslim.
The archbishop and Francis are wrong if they think that the only thing that matters is what the person giving communion thinks. No, the primary element with communion is not from the provider, but the committment of the recipient, a committment to Christ.
Both are antichrist..
.
Who cares?
The purloined host, being the body, blood, soul and Divinity of Jesus, Christ of the Father, is clearly more valuable than anything in the world.
If the sheikh in question, who irreverently headfaked toward consuming the host, did not subsequently consume it, where is it now?
The sheikh is portrayed as being a good friend to Catholics.
Has he agreed to return the host—the Holy Sacrament of the Altar?
Pelosi was forbidden to receive by her archbishop in SF, finally after 30 years of being a strong advocate for abortion. But a month later she received communion in the Vatican. The church does bad even when 1 bishop is taking the right course. It’s not believable to think the vatican didn’t know she was being forbidden the sacraments by SF.
In the near past, I used to write, “I remember when the Pope was Catholic.”
Now, it’s,”I remember when the Pope pretended to be Christian.
Evil POS arch following the evil POS Antipope. Gee, what a surprise.
The whole thing is unbiblical. Jesus already sacrificed. No need to keep doing it over and over and over.

Q&A
Illustrating Importance of the Sacraments
TOM NASH
What is the best way to express the importance of the Sacraments to my former Catholic (now devout Protestant) girlfriend?
Answer:
We explain the importance of the sacraments in the “How God Distributes His Gifts” section of our tract “Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth.”
The Eucharist or Sacrifice of the Mass is called the Most Blessed Sacrament because it makes sacramentally present and allows us to offer anew Jesus Christ’s one Sacrifice of Calvary, which makes all of the other sacraments possible.
The Eucharist or Sacrifice of the Mass is not a re-sacrificing of Jesus. Jesus offered himself once for all (Heb. 7:27; 9:28). So the Mass is called unbloody because Jesus does not suffer and shed his blood anew.
However, while Jesus suffers and dies only once, his Sacrifice as a whole culminated in everlasting glory in the heavenly sanctuary and is made sacramentally present at every Mass.
How can this be? The Catholic Church describes the Eucharist as “the source and summit of the Christian life” (CCC 1324). It’s the source, because the Eucharist enables us to make present and offer anew Jesus Christ’s one redemptive Sacrifice of Calvary, which began with his Passion (CCC 1362-68; 1341). It’s the summit, because the Eucharist is truly a foretaste of heaven, in which we partake of Jesus’ body and blood as heaven and earth become most profoundly one.
The Eucharist is a communion sacrifice, which means we partake of Jesus in a way similar to how the ancient Israelites ate the flesh of the Old Covenant Passover lambs. But the New Covenant Passover is much more profound, for there is only one Lamb—the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29, 35-36)—and eating Jesus’ body and drinking his blood provides eternal life, not simply emancipation from a mere human and earthly oppressor, i.e., Egypt (John 6:52-59; see 1 Cor. 13:23-34).
Forty days after his Resurrection from the dead, Jesus ascends in triumph to heaven, taking his seat at the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19; Luke 24:50-52; Acts 1:6-11). In doing so, Jesus culminates his one Sacrifice of Calvary in everlasting glory, fulfilling also the Old Covenant Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur sacrifices (see Lev. 16). That’s because Jesus takes not the blood of goats and calves but his own, and he enters into the heavenly sanctuary, not one made by human hands (Heb. 9:11-14). So Jesus is the high priest of heaven (Heb. 8:1-3; CCC 662-64; 1137-39), and he always lives to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:23-25; 8:1-3; 9:23-24), which means the Eucharistic Sacrifice has continuing atoning power for the sins we commit daily (CCC 1366).
Jesus’ one Sacrifice is made sacramentally present and offered anew at every Mass according to the order of Melchizedek, i.e., under the forms of bread and wine (Gen. 14:18-20; Heb. 5:7-10; Matt. 26:26-29; Luke 22:19-20; see CCC 1333; 1355; 1544). Consequently, the words of the Lord’s Prayer—“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”—are nowhere more profoundly fulfilled than in the Mass, because heaven and earth are united in a most perfect way that further fosters the Redemption of mankind!
For more information on the intimate connection between the heavenly liturgy/work of Christ and the Sacrifice of the Mass, see Blessed Pope Paul VI, Credo of the People of God, 24-26).
From the posted article above:
The Sheik reportedly told the Vicar General that told the vicar general that he did not intend to “disrespect the Catholic Church,” revealing that he did in fact consume the host when he sat down in his pew. He added that the deceased cardinal had explained “that the Eucharist is the body of Jesus, considered a prophet for Islam.”
At some point, Catholics are going to realize that a significant number of our bishops are not functionally Catholic at all.
At some point the Catholic Church, along with most Protestant Denominations, switched from being religions to political corporations.
MORTAL SIN!
Omg...the CHURCH IS NOT LOST. THE GATES OF HELL WILL NEVER PREVAIL.
Stop sounding anti Catholic.....you have no idea what you’re saying.
