Decree! Archbishop Lwanga Bans Holy Communion by Hand, Mass Outside Church in Kampala Archdiocese [Uganda]
PML Daily ^ | 2/2/20 | George Okello

Posted on 02/02/2020 5:50:43 PM PST by marshmallow

KAMPALA — Kampala Catholic Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has directed that no Christian or practicing Catholic will be allowed to receive the Holy Communion by hand.

He has also decreed that Holy Mass will no longer be celebrated in homes, as is the current norm, in a bid to “fend off abuses in the liturgical life of the Church”.

The directives are contained in a decree he issued on Saturday, February 1, 2020 following a high level meeting with the clergy and senior executive committees of parishes at Rubaga Cathedral in Kampala. A decree (Latin: decretum) is an order or law made by a superior authority for the direction of others.

Previously, Catholics have been receiving the Eucharist either by the palm of the hand or by mouth. But under the new decree, the priest will only be allowed to distribute the Holy Eucharist (bread) by mouth. Archbishop Lwanga said the measure is in keeping with the liturgical and canonical norms of the Church Universal under Canon Law 392: 2.

"Henceforth, it is forbidden to distribute or to receive Holy Communion In the hands. Mother Church enjoins US to hold the Most Holy Eucharist in the highest honor (Can. 898). Due to many reported instances of dishonoring the Eucharist that have been associated with reception of the Eucharist in the hands, it is lilting to return to the more reverent method of receiving the Eucharist on the tongue,” the letter reads in part.

Just a warning, daniel, not a condemnation.

It means what I said. Pope Eugene IV and the Council of Florence has relegated all it named as presently being under condemnation (as unbelievers are) and consigns such to eternal damnation if they die in that state.

Which presumption only makes her damnation worse, though the present church of Rome (that you reject) "interprets" it differently than is plainly stated.

And the Catholic Church has never cursed or condemned souls. It only teaches and warns. P.S. I'll troll wherever I see your chum in the water.

It does what I explained it does, and the only problem with bait is that it often results in your worthless trolling which adds zero to threads except as an argument against being a Catholic. Your choice. Bye.

Your “explanations” are not valid.

P.S. The is a thread titled, “Decree! Archbishop Lwanga Bans Holy Communion by Hand, Mass Outside Church in Kampala Archdiocese [Uganda]”.

So don’t lecture me about trolling, troll.

Which is nothing more than a warning. Take heed.

"The present church of Rome"?

I believe in the eternal Church of Rome and I don't reject it, unlike you.

And therein is your problem. You believe in a denomination...though you wouldn't know it in light of all the Roman Catholic pope bashing articles you post.

Christians believe in Christ and Christ alone.

There is a profound difference.

Wrong. Again. According to what the document actually says, then since as they are not yet a RC and will go to Hell if they die in that state, then they are presently in a state of condemnation which will continue. Meaning that Rome relegates all pagans, Jews and heretics and schismatics who do not covert to her as being damned.

And one who denies the current elected pope as being so is a schismatic.

Ebb’s strong dislike, maybe hatred (which would be a mortal sin for Roman Catholics), of the pope of the RCC has completely blinded him in so many matters.

”Please reply to #27 post. It is about the Real Presence.”

My apologies. I had family responsibilities, needed to get dinner started. Your statement begs for a reply because apparently you do not understand that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are ONE. Christ is present in the form of the Holy Spirit, as they are both part of the ONE.

Funny you should bring this up as I was just trying to explain it to my preschool grandson when he asked me, pointing to his heart, he asked, “Grammy how does Jesus live in here?” This is basically the same concept, and difficult to understand unless you truly believe the concept of the trinity.

Elsie, May I ask who it is that promises these “15 Promises” you posted? The rosary is not in the scriptures, in fact the Bible says, “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.” Matthew 6:7

The scriptures do not tell us that Mary has any supernatural powers to hear our prayers. Only the ONE God, the triune Father Son And Holy Spirit, heats our prayers. The early Church understood this. The rosary is a man-made concept.

But WAIT!!  There is MORE...
 
 
 (Note that the Church does not teach that wearing a scapular is some sure ticket to Heaven; rather,
we must strive to be in a state of grace, implore our Lord's forgiveness and trust in the maternal aid of our Blessed Mother
— all positive acts of a person who wears a scapular sincerely.)   https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=1312

Yet they are teaching it by allowing it to be “sold” to their believers.

If too many colors trigger you with visions of LBGTXZY tremors; then narrow it down to just one more:
 
 
       the Almighty GREEN!!
 
Designed specifically for those hard to reach cases; it works where you can't!!
 
Get one (or more) today; and you; too; can become a Fisher of Men!!
 

 
While the rosary, the Memorare, and other prayers are wonderfully powerful ways to intercede for others, Our Blessed Mother decided, in 1840, to help us get a little more creative in regards to how we pray for healing and spiritual conversion for the people in our lives.
 
https://www.catholiccompany.com/getfed/green-scapular-devotion-6141
 
Exactly six years later, Mary appeared again, and Sr. Justine asked her these important questions. Our Lady’s reply was surprisingly simple and rather intriguing:

“This scapular is not like others [it is not based on a religious habit] but merely two holy images on a single piece of material. Therefore, no special formula is required to bless it or enroll someone in its use. It suffices that it be blessed by a Catholic priest and worn by the one whom we desire to benefit by Our Lady’s intercession. If, on the other hand, the person is unable, or even unwilling, to wear it or carry it, it may even be slipped, unknown to them, into their clothes, possessions, home or work environments, etc."

Sure signs of a hypocrite.

Apparition Promise #15

Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

When perfecting the role of a troll;
‘Tis better to row; not to pole.
Make them short, sweet or funny;
Or biting and punny.
But remember: saving souls is your goal.
