Woman feeds her pet with Eucharist during Mass
In Bogotá, Colombia, an event during a Mass has shocked the local religious community, after a woman shared a fragment of the Eucharist with her pet, according to Father Laureano Barón, parish priest of Santo Domingo Savio.
In Bogotá, Colombia, Father Laureano Barón, in charge of the Santo Domingo Savio parish, expressed his dismay over an incident that he described as sacrilege during a recent Mass. He reported that a woman, after receiving the Eucharist, returned to her place and shared a fragment with her pet, an act he considered extremely serious.
On Sunday, April 28, at the conclusion of Mass in the parish, Father Barón, who has been parish priest of the church for almost 2 years, shared with the faithful gathered the event, which caused him great regret: "I have to say something that hurts me. enormously (...) a few days ago one of our acolytes observed that a woman who went to take Communion with her pet when she arrived at the place where she was standing took out a piece of the host and gave it to her animal."
Likewise, he stressed that it was not only a sin, but also a sacrilege, and that the woman responsible for doing it should urgently confess, but not with him, since a priest cannot forgive an offence of that nature: she would have to confess with him. bishop, "because that is the most serious and sacrilegious act there is."
This is stipulated in the Code of Canon Law, particularly in numeral 1382 - § 1: "whoever throws consecrated species on the ground, or takes them away or retains them for a sacrilegious purpose, incurs latae sententiae excommunication reserved for the Apostolic See.", that is, the Vatican.
The priest also pointed out that in the Catholic Church it is completely permitted to receive Communion in the hand or in the mouth, as long as it is done with due respect and, if it is in the hand, "you have to consume it in front of the minister, not "You can take it anywhere."
He recalled other moments in which similar events occurred: "Sometimes a mother took out a little piece and gave it to the little boy who asked 'let me know, let's see how he knows that.' "It seems that we do not understand that we are facing the greatest miracle in the world and the most sacred thing we have.
Likewise, he mentions what is written in the Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments of the Vatican in numeral 92: "Although every faithful always has the right to choose whether he wishes to receive Holy Communion in the mouth, if the who is going to take communion wants to receive the Sacrament in his hand, in the places where the Conference of Bishops has allowed it, with the confirmation of the Apostolic See, the Sacred Host must be administered to him.
"However, special care must be taken to ensure that the communicant immediately consumes the host, in front of the minister, and that no one walks away with the Eucharistic species in hand. "If there is a danger of desecration, do not distribute Communion in the hand to the faithful," he concluded.
This sacrilege would never have happened prior to VC II. Thanks "Saint" Paul VI and your fellow modernists, your fruits are continuing to putrify.
Ping
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church.
“This sacrilege would never have happened prior to VC II. Thanks “Saint” Paul VI and your fellow modernists, your fruits are continuing to putrify. “
Crazy woman gives part of her communion to dog and you blame Pope Paul VI, laughable nonsense.

I agree. Plenty of crazy stuff happened pre-Vatican II. There was an incident during the Crusaders where a bunch of crusaders got slaughtered because they marched behind a goose they believed was "filled with the Holy Spirit" and guiding them to the correct destination.
Yeah, people do stupid things. This is different ... when I was a kid, people viewed the Blessed Sacrament with extreme reverence. Giving in to mass disobedience and allowing communion in the hand and hordes of lay “eucharistic ministers” has, over the last 40-50 years, contributed to a loss of reverence generally, and a loss of reverence for the Blessed Sacrament particularly.
It’s Holy Communion in the Paw and on the Hoof that is nonsense.
This sacrilege could never had occurred when Holy Communion on the Tongue was the law.
Get your head out of the sand.
See Post #8.
At our church, two ushers stand at the Communion rail to make sure that no one removes the Host from his mouth or does anything else that might profane the Sacrament.
A non-Catholic ex-Satanist warned the Church against Communion in the hand, as abuses would be next to impossible to stop.
Dogs in this case were those who were not ones who became believers, and baptized as such.
“ But let no one eat or drink from your thanksgiving meal unless they have been baptized in the name of the Lord. For also the Lord has said about this, ‘Do not give what is holy to the dogs.’”
“ When a wicked group of young fanatics flung themselves on Tarcisius who was carrying the Eucharist, not wanting to profane the sacrament, thereby preferred to give his life rather than yield up The Body of Christ to the rabid dogs.””
No hatred to actual dogs but obviously they don’t read, speak or understand these things, but what of the owner here? She made no effort to.

And let's not forget JP II condemnig it:
And Pope Benedict XVI:
Communion on the tongue, Benedict XVI clears a path
And now we have Bergoglio. Here's Bergoglio's Holy Communion at his very first World Yute Mass:
I was an altar boy for many years, and I readily admit to being less than pious.
We got into the locker one time where the priests kept all their vestments, and gorged ourselves on the little hosts which we were surprised to find out were simply kept in a plastic garbage bag, and took the big ones out of the little thin, square cardboard boxes they came in, and were holding them in the air above our heads, breaking them in half while intoning in a deep voice between giggles to each other “Dominus Sanctum...”
Then, drinking the Manechevitz wine...
When I related this years later saying I was probably going to go to Hell for that, I was assured I was safe because the host had not been blessed...:)
I got to serve mass on a variety of Navy ships including the USS New Jersey in Japan.
I was around 11 years old at the time, It was very memorable because the sailors treated me like a celebrity. It was custom to have breakfast on the ship after Mass, and I recall a very overweight cook, wearing a somewhat scruffy and stained white t-shirt and white pants, asking me what I would like. I recall him saying “Anything you want kid. Just name it!”
I blurted out “Jelly doughnuts!” and he brought me out a whole platter, the ones with strawberry jam inside and granulated sugar on the outside, held in place by the slight sheen of grease. There must have been 6-12 of them on there, and I ate them until my stomach hurt! To an 11 year old boy, there are few things more scrumptious than jelly doughnuts, because I would never, ever get those at home!
And you boast about it? Absolutely disgusting.
What you did was a sin.
We were just stupid kids. Like I said, I was told it was no different than eating a piece of bread. After all, they did store them in what looked like a garbage bag to me.
I was just ten years old...don’t know how much experience you have with ten year old boys, but in my experience that isn’t too far off.
If I am fortunate enough to find my way into the presence of God when I leave this earth, I would like to think I would get the equivalent of a smirk when this comes up.
Anyway, didn’t mean to hijack your thread. My apologies.
You were of the age of reason, and an altar boy.
Whoever told you that what you did was OK, was wrong.
You were old enough to know how to simulate the Consecration. And you did it.
I truly don’t think you’ll get a smirk at your Final Judgement.
Yes, how DARE Pope Paul VI approve the method that Jesus HIMSELF used at the Last Supper for Holy Communion! How disrespectful!
We wouldn't have those kind of abuses if Jesus would have just been more relevant and placed a communion wafer on the apostles tongues, while they kneeled over a communion rail. He probably should have used the Latin language, too. Instead, he did the WHOLE service the vernacular language!! Had to be one of those 'novus ordo' Catholics. Tsk, tsk!
Were you there at the Last Supper, Billy Bob?
