My dear Luircin,
Since the Communion chalice has been received by laypeople since the late 1960’s, your remark that in the Catholic Church “only the priest” receives the Blood of the Lord, seems to show that your reading is a little outdated.
Your statement that, according to Catholics, Jesus is in heaven getting re-crucified over and over again, is not only incorrect, but quite *specifically* and *strongly* rejected by Catholic theology.
I must say such misconceptions abound in the blogosphere. Is that where you get this stuff?
Not that I blame you specifically. Far from it.
Religious “dialogue” online requires weary Catholics to be continually hauling this rubbish to the landfill.
Over and over again!
.
Only at Bugnini's Novus Ordus Masses. Not at Traditional Latin Masses. But I guess we Traditionalists are oudated, also?
Outdated?
Some things NEVER change...
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
You poor, put upon Catholic!
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
Galatians 6:9
Perhaps what you are continually doing is not 'good'.
