Also known as a “none.”
But your answer does not explain why the Satanists are so very determined to desecrate the consecrated host in a RC church. If it is “just a bag of croutons”. why do they care? That’s the part that is puzzling to me ab0ut Satanists. They want to destroy the host that has been consecrated.
OK. I will respond to you the same way I responded to the previous comment comparing it to “croutons”.
If the RC consecratedhost is only a wafer or only a crouton. my question remains the same - that is why Satanists hate it so much that they try to desecrate it and destroy it.
Anybody been in this Church?
I agree with you!
Good start.
They need a communion rail, too.
If they wanted to have both the OF and EF Masses possible, they could have a freestanding altar that can be easily moved in or out of the sanctuary. There are parishes where this is done.
I agree. If the statues needed some renovation, that would have been OK; but to completely destroy the holiness and insert the profane is unforgivable.
I thought the same thing. The Novus Ordo altar is obstructing the high altar (symbolic of Calvary), and doesn't really fit in with the rest of the sanctuary. The Sanctuary is also missing a communion rail at which communicants can kneel to God. Other than those two things, the restoration of this sanctuary is wonderful.
It's not just a spiritual change, but also a physical change as well. Every particle of a consecrated host and every drop of the wine in the chalice contains the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ in its entirety under the appearance of bread and wine. It's not just a symbolic "spiritual change" that occurs at the consecration, but also a change of the substance of the bread and wine that occurs at the consecration. After the consecration, it only appears to be bread and wine, but it no longer is.
A twisted light for sure, but the question was why they want a consecrated host rather than something from a non-Catholic communion service, not what is the true nature of a consecrated host.
Yes.
Thank God (and Father Cunnungham) that they are restoring the Church to its former dignity.
Yes! And it is so nice to see.
The Church used in the TV show “Blue Bloods” is one such traditional church, St. Patrick’s in Bay Ridge. It has been unchanged since I attended there some 50 years ago.
Thanks Coleus.
