They do not exercise any 'special ministry'; on one occasion I was MC-ing for a (sung Latin) OF Mass on a chant course and was asked by the celebrant to offer the Chalice to the congregation. Of course they then take it and effectively communicate themselves, but this is another issue.<br /><br />At a parish I know, about twenty years ago the PP introduced the practices alluded to by James. When he retired the new PP discontinued this, as well as the practice of self-intinction which had become prevalent, and explained why he was doing so. However ingrained certain practices are, 'usus non fit abusus'.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-55406667350741065192016-03-14T14:47:10.794-04:002016-03-14T14:47:10.794-04:00Vatican TV used to demurely avert its eyes when th...Vatican TV used to demurely avert its eyes when the pope was receiving the host (the camera would normally zoom in on a Swiss guard instead). That's all changed over the last couple of years, though I'm not sure exactly when (probably around the time that the Benedictine altar arrangement was modified to make it more camera friendly).<br /><br />The EMHC practice you describe still goes on at our church, and it has a strange, distorting effect on the mass as a whole (it makes it seem as if the priest and EMHCs are reenacting the last supper, then - after much delay - deigning to share it with the great unwashed). Anyway, I'll stop there, before this turns into a rant...Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873507031809422203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-2968840375687594922016-03-14T12:09:03.800-04:002016-03-14T12:09:03.800-04:00they are. sorrythey are. sorryTJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295786341022051107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-79186955260900389612016-03-14T09:43:38.585-04:002016-03-14T09:43:38.585-04:00Your congregation doesn't know how lucky you a...Your congregation doesn't know how lucky you are.
