I’ve always been curious about how a priest denies communion to a parishioner. I’ve never seen it, so I wonder he does it. Does he just withhold the host, does he say something to them? Any insight? Thanks.

With all due respect, this is just silly. Since Catholics don’t fast before receiving communion anymore what possible difference could it make whether one arrived at Mass before or after the Gospel?

If Catholics refuse to properly prepare themselves for the Eucharist, what possible good can listening to the Gospel and a lousy sermon do?
