I did specify within that post that the cup was not offered to the communicants

You said it was removed and did not specify that the cup was still consecrated and drank by Priests which can mislead people who don't know the Catholic Faith to think the cup was completely removed

Perhaps next time you can be more specific in your posts,dear sister.

I disagree. Metmom, if you go back and read the exchange, talks about the cup being offered to the people. The comments those of us added reiterated that viewpoint and it was relevant to the discussion we were having about the blood being what cleanses us from all sin and it being omitted from the observance the people take part of. I remember very clearly that the priest drank the wine and wiped out the chalice (or whatever you guys call it) when he was done. It was NEVER offered to the "people" - which was the point.

This wasn't brought up for any other reason than to note the absence of the main thing that Jesus said symbolized the New Covenant.

FYI...Natural Law was told to leave the thread by the Religion Moderator. I didn't know if you were aware of that and it will be why he doesn't respond to your posts here.
