Not only do they not provide the cup of wine for the parisheners to drink,...
FALSE! In my conservative parish the cup is offered at nearly every Mass.
To break the bread, not to hand out something that dissolves on your tongue that you are not allowed to handle...
False again. Communion in the hand is permitted and it sho' doesn't dissolve on my tongue.
knarf dixit:are we to sit back and at least not discuss AND argue the point ?
Discussion would be nice. Not a lot of it going on.
So apparently yours is the exception to the rule...But you still don't break the break which is essential...'Break the bread to commemorate my broken body'...
But that could get a little sticky for you guys maybe...If you are actually drinking blood and eating flesh, by breaking bread then you would be ripping Jesus body apart before you eat it...Is that why you guys don't take it that far???
