Intinction would allow Communion under both species and do away with a lot of problems from Communion in the hand, and from a cup shared by dozens of other people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-26618689309310260572020-01-26T19:44:49.833-05:002020-01-26T19:44:49.833-05:00To the idea and practice of intinction, I wish it ...To the idea and practice of intinction, I wish it were universal norm. I skip receiving under both species primarily due to the mass consumption at Mass from a common chalice which was unheard of until modern times....and exceptionally poorly thought out by the liturgists who proposed it. <br /><br />Intinction is the OBVIOUS choice for large numbers of communicants receiving under both species, and if any communicable disease or public health organization were able to regulate what happens at Mass, it is precisely what they would rightly mandate for the public good.<br /><br />The current practice is no different than restaurants able to reuse dirty cups, and mind boggling it not only was allowed, but mandated.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154160877651237323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-44847121527822323042020-01-26T17:05:27.022-05:002020-01-26T17:05:27.022-05:00WOW!

Yes, I expanded the photo and indeed you are correct andthere are electric cords! I have never seen that either except in Rome where in an older church light bulbs were affixed on top of the six candlesticks and electrified.<br /><br />The photo is 1922. Maybe a novelty or poor lighting in the Church?Fr. Allan J.

The mark of a "progressive" right there...<br /><br />As one theologian honestly remarked in a forward to a book of his, the reader would find no new major ideas, but only a collection and synthesis of what came before, as, in his words, "Those who strive to be original in theology inevitably stray into heresy."<br /><br />And there surely were no advances to theology made in only changing up of a rite...nor were any changes of doctrine approved with the changing of the rite. His is a vacuous claim.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154160877651237323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-35044119216532267322020-01-26T16:35:32.324-05:002020-01-26T16:35:32.324-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690686812014483125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-4926459086119280912020-01-26T16:34:17.830-05:002020-01-26T16:34:17.830-05:00I just realized that there are two electric light/...I just realized that there are two electric light/candles with shades on the altar.<br />This is a first for mejoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690686812014483125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-76156722762822084852020-01-25T15:44:49.541-05:002020-01-25T15:44:49.541-05:00Father, you made a very good response.

Your paragraph about intinction was especially right on focus!<br /><br />One good trend is that parish "liturgy committees" seem to on a downward trend. Good! They were/are mostly staffed by well intentioned but poorly informed people. Felt banners do not a good liturgy make! I think they were just another way to "empower the laity." I think most clergy could improve the liturgy if they just read their Ordo and considered the sensible suggestions in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-18903709902655029572020-01-25T09:56:35.996-05:002020-01-25T09:56:35.996-05:00Well said, Father!

In the 1970's my parish priest, Henry Romanowski encouraged those in the parish who would listen to supplement the parish religious education with the Baltimore Catechism. My parents bought them through the Leaflet Missal store. I am grateful my parents do, because I actually learned the faith. Otherwise, religious education was a joke. I suppose, in part that is why out of my first communion class of 12 in June 1976, there are two lukewarm Catholics. And myself. The rest have fallen away, and most did so as teenagers in the 1980sJames Ignatius McAuleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170178446627560622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-7835770037459238262020-01-25T09:52:01.564-05:002020-01-25T09:52:01.564-05:00I frequently attend a Mass in Latin (I shall be do...I frequently attend a Mass in Latin (I shall be doing so tomorrow) according to the Missal of Paul VI. The level of 'participation' is not much greater than it would be if the Mass were in the Extraordinary Form. The people sing the Asperges, the responses, the Credo, the Pater Noster and after the Ite Missa Est a vernacular hymn. They do not sing the Kyriale since it is usually polyphonic, nor the Gregorian Propers since they are beyond the competence of most people. That's why we have choirs and scholas. They do recite the Confiteor and the Suscipiat, and the first reading is given by a lay person.<br /><br />The sanctuary is not swarming with lay people exercising so-called ministries. To regard this as a necessary feature of the Novus Ordo is to assume too much. If papal liturgies are anything to go by, the main difference between Francis and Benedict is that Fancis's celebrations are duller due to vestment choice and a refusal to sing anything. Trying to read any more into it is mere wishful thinking.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.com
