My brother John on his death bed was given the last rite of extreme unction. When the priest held up the Host my brother who had been in a coma for several days put out his tongue to receive Communion. The priest nudged me - did you see that? Your brother just received the Holy Communion spiritually. He did receive the Communion spiritually. And by opening his mouth and putting his tongue out he proved it so. This experience brought me back to the Holy Roman Catholic Church. For this reason I prefer to receive Communion on my knees and by mouth and from the hands of a priest.
@@dan_m7774 with the lack of reverence surrounding in the church today due to communion in the hand, even that claim is not sufficient to support communion in the hand.
@@Servus-Dei83 @CatholicCrusader07 Really , so you decide? Sounds like an appeal to a Church run by the laity, instead of accepting the authority of the Church.
I have watched the videos of this Cardinal and hope that he continues to preach orthodoxy without fear. This is the kind of man needed as Pope, to hammer the heretics into submission.
It's because of Cardinal Arinze I had the courage to go up and recover holy communion on the tough I was refused I said to father you can't refuse me holy communion
I receive my communion kneeling I have to show the up most respectful for my Lord Jesus because He really is present my parish doesn't have a problem with it I'm the only one that does it though this is in Phoenix AZ
I kneel take only from priest if my health permits meaning if I struggle w getting up my priest helps me, when I first started and this his fix came out zi thought he was going to punch me but no he was helping me up, his fist not fix, .
I remember as a child studying at school, studying to take our first only communion, once the priest put the blessed lord on your tongue you do not touch with your finger or tonque, you do not bite or chew. You leave and let it melt away it is the Christ. When it was changed that you could take the host in your hands I never did, my teacher and priests words came flooding back. My last two parish priests have always given the host in on my tonque with no problem. I now have a new priest and he’s stands and looks at my hands as I stand with my tonque out. He is insistent that I take the host in my hands, I can not and never will. Thank you for this I feel better for not giving in to what I was taught as a little girl. That I am not breaking any rules.
Since the altar rails were removed as part of 'reordering' in the 1990s it has become increasingly difficult to receive Our Lord kneeling. It is now more than a year since I returned to receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. I have also stopped receiving the Precious Blood from the chalice. This is in part due to fear of letting the chalice fall, in part due to the ancient tradition of the church that only ordained priests or deacons are permitted to touch any of the sacred vessels. I visit Germany several times a year and I am pleased to report that there Communion is in one kind only - that is by receiving the consecrated Host. That is much more in line with the the hallowed tradition observed everywhere until the 1970s or even later.
This modernism in the US destroys of types of traditions, and seems it is now trying its best to do so with the Church. I see very few people in Mass accept is, while kneeling and on the tongue. I have to wait until April when baptized, but know exactly how I shall.. by note of tradition and respect for our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mr Patricktobin. I could not agree with you more, ,all of the changes were wrought about by g.b.montini , with the help of some 7 protestant ministers, many of whom did not believe in the Real Presence of our Lord andSaviour Jesus Christ..The correct Mass is the Tridentine Mass, promulgated by Pope St Pius 5 , and given much emphasis by Pope St Pius 10, and Pope Leónis 13, at the start of the 20th century ..i do not believe that very many people are aware of this, but I could be incorrect and 😮
This makes me so sad! :( I love taking the Eucharist kneeling and it's really hard to find a parish that approves that. A lot of parishes don't allow my family and I to do that an they say that we're being disobedient. Pray for priest that don't appear this. It's just so sad
Communion on the knees and in our tongue, is more than just good "Etiquette" as some claim. It is a matter of respecting the first commandment. It is a matter of giving God all of our devotion and respect. It is about having a healthy fear and respect for our Lord Jesus. Present in the consecrated Host. Which after consecration by a validly ordained Catholic Priest, it then becomes the real Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him all the Honor and Glory, now and forever. AMEN.
Just came from mass an hour ago and if this particular purse they usually offer communion on the hand and everybody However today so many people more than I've ever seen got on their knees and took me to know the tongue I just about started to weep. After the final blessing I told another priest that I saw so many people kneel and pick him in on the tongue that it almost made me cry. The priest said whatever works for me.
Always kneel and receive the Jesus on your tongue. Do not maltreat those who chose to kneel. If Jesus Christ were to stand infront of you, would you be able to withstand His Holy Presence ? Think about it.
Preferred form? It is God almighty we're talking about here. Kneeling and in the tongue is the ONLY FORM. and whoever is not receiving the Most Holy Sacrament (CHRIST), must kneel in his pew until the recommencement of Mass. Not optional, not preferred.
Where I am not Catholic.. yet, when Communion is done I receive a blessing until baptized Easter Sunday. In Mass, all will kneel upon returning to the pew.. though most take it by the hand. Very few by the mouth. The one lady who got me into deciding to change my faith, she receives it on the tongue.. not even a question with her. But after this talk, among others stressing proper protocol, I shall receive it on the tongue as well. It seems disrespectful otherwise.
...The only LATER approved form. The Apostles received while reclining, as was the standard position at the time. There were no tables as we know them, and no Communion rails built in houses.
There was a note in our bulletin that it is normative for our diocese to not kneel but to stand and bow profoundly or make some other sign of reverence. Receiving Communion on the tongue or in the hand are both considered normal. AFAIK nobody in our own parish has attempted to receive the Blessed Sacrament kneeling so it hasn't been an issue, but a message appearing in the bulletin for the diocese means the issue has been raised somewhere in the diocese.
i was just practically banned from the Mass of a priest because of Communion on the tongue last week . The priest claims that he was willing to give on the tongue but I think he was voicing to comply with the rules. However the rules did not stop him from making the act of communion on the tongue so difficult. He was always telling everyone before communion to be "CHA-Ri-Table" to the people who want to take communion on the hand. I emphasized it that way because tha is the way he says it with his booming voice. He wants those who prefer on the tongue to be at the end of the line which was okay if he didn't make it so embarrassing to do so. I felt like a spectacle as i was the only one who received on the tongue on a daily basis. I told him that I am so offended and have been receiving communion in the state of angst. He told me to go somewhere else. As he was saying this, he had a very big smile on his face, I felt a selfish smile. He reiterated: "Really! Ill be so happy if you go to another parish."😢😢😢
1st of all I’m so sorry you live this, but embrace the painful reality you lived, 2nd live the sorrow that broke your heart united to sorrows of the immaculate heart of Mary & 3rd offer it all for the sanctification of that priest & all holly priest so they may not fall into a sin such as the one you witnessed! My heart & prayers are with you
It's a pity that the Cardinal was not asked what disciplinary action should be taken regarding critical priests who punish the faithful if they kneel. why does the church also not provide kneelers? This is a punishment in itself as they are making the kneeling communicants as uncomfortable as possible... which is another disincentive to traditional reception.
@mhentho I forgot to mention... I continue to kneel with my eyes closed and tongue out until I have recieved communion or I am forcibly removed. :). Never has happened yet... and I have yet to see an evil eye or hear a word ;-). God bless you and sorry you were denied your freedom.
In Tanzania specifically in Dar Es Salaam, they are not allowed receiving while kneeling! Years back people been beaten and forced out from the church!!! Sad..!
Cardinal Arinze said in another interview that there was always abuse rather in the hand, on the tongue, before Vatican II, after Vatican II... unfortunately, there will always be abuse. That is why it is important to instruct the faithful.
We need to scream this in every corner of the world, we need to be informed of the truth & of our rights to comunión in the mouth & if need kneeling! I see so many priests, say no, either or both.
I was denied by the priest in South Korea when I tried to receive the Eucharist kneeling down. ( about 10 years ago) He was angry and demanded me to stand up.

One result of the Second Reformation, a/k/a the Second Vatican Council, was the removal of kneelers and, in some cases, the removal of many religious objects of the Old Church. A purge of The Church somewhat similar to the Reign of Terror. This, along with the Norvus Ordu with the celebrant turning his back to the altar, pop music and Communion in the hand drove me away from The Church for almost 40 years. Pope Benedict VXI won me back but I still refuse to take the Holy Eucharist in my hand and I still have no love of the "New Mass".
Two things: First, Vatican II did not cause a wild disregard for the council documents. That seems like a silly thing to say. The iconoclasm and liturgical abuse that followed the council is completely contrary to the spirit of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Second, the Vatican never changed the orientation of the priest. Even now, the preferred direction is ad orientem. The only thing that changed is that priests were *allowed* to face the people for pastoral reasons. Unfortunately, you give people an inch and they will take a mile. Sacrosanctum Concilium also explicitly says that Gregorian chant is the language of choice of the Church, followed by polyphany, followed by hymns. Music that doesn't fall into one of those categories is not even mentioned, so we cannot blame its presence in the liturgy on the Council, or the Vatican, or any of our popes. It is entirely the fault of individual, rebellious bishops and priests (and some lay people).
Personally I like to receive the whole body of Christ by tongue and not in my hand where it can break crumble or leave residue. I like to kneel if the small bench is available.
Kneel on the floor if you have too. My family and I have never received in the hand or standing. We were the only ones in the church kneeling at the time. We have now found a real priest who says the Latin Mass exclusively and everyone who receives shows proper respect and kneels.
Latin Mass has never gone away in the Latin Rite of the catholic church, they are more . There is also the Byzantine Rite, Coptic, Armenian, Syro-Malabar and others. Some use Greek, Coptic, and other customs according to the culture and community. They are all right as long as no disrespect is done to the consecrated bread and wine.maryourmother.net/Eastern.html
So do you take a stand for communion on the tongue and kneeling? have you confronted your priest and bishop and asked them why they persists in causing desecration to the Host? Have you banned together with your fellow Catholics and gone as a group to confront the priest about the proper way to receive or just allow things to go on as usual and watch the desecrations take place. You know if Catholics banned together and stood their ground none of these changes would have taken place. Quit funding a priest who shows no respect for Our Lord and watch how fast he would change. There are nine ways to aid in another's sin and silence is one of them.
and every DRE has one way or another undermined my teaching my children to receive on the tongue. Even the good ones. They tell me it my children's choice. Kids are going to choose to not stick out. So from the very beginning they make children disposed to disobey their mother and father. I had no choice but to go along.
You did have a choice. You could go to the priest, the pastor, and if necessary, the bishop or the archbishop or the cardinal, or even right to the pope. When someone tells you something that is wrong, don't put up with it.
@@timothycorbitt5149 honestly, I didn’t know at the time. This was the 90’s, early 2000”s. I didn’t know what was allowed anymore. Everything was so crazy. And it never occurred to me to complain to the bishop. It just never occurred to me that a bishop would listen to a housewife. Who ever heard of that?
Karina, they don't have a choice! Politely explain to your Priest that he is wrong. If he still won't administer the Eucharist to you, bring it to the Bishop. If the Bishop will not help you, write to Rome. God bless.
I receive on the tongue but more often than not the priest or extraordinary minister's finger brushes my tongue. I don't know if it is because I am doing something wrong (I'm a convert and just imitate what I see...I was never properly taught what to do). Anyone have advice for this? Every once in a while maybe 10-20 percent there is no finger-tongue contact but I'd like to do all I can to increase that. Thanks :)
YES Nkhumeleni Muifha let us also remember that nowhere in the bible does it use the word Trinity ...And when learning from the bible, lets use it in it's entirety ...the whole bible ...OLD testament which conceals the new in it, and the NEW testament which reveals the old testament as a whole document instead of out of context passages of scriptures. Let us also understand the writings based on the nuances of the original languages used, the cultural norms and events of the day for those the texts were directed towards. ....Further, why don't we read texts from the EARLY church Fathers that weren't chosen to be part of the Gospel ...Texts that were written by those who carried the faith throughout the world .Great ideas !
Note paragraph 90-92 of Redemptionis Sacramentum [92.] Although each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue, at his choice,[178] if any communicant should wish to receive the Sacrament in the hand, in areas where the Bishops’ Conference with the recognitio of the Apostolic See has given permission, the sacred host is to be administered to him or her....
It must be remembered that Communion on the tongue is the law of the Church. Communion in the hand is an exception to the law (it is an “indult”) which is not commanded but only allowed if all the conditions outlined by the Vatican are present. If the conditions are not present then the permission is not granted and Communion on the tongue only is permitted. The seven conditions are based on two principles as the official document points out. These two principles are not something that the Pope could change even if he wanted to because they are based on Divine Revelation itself. Every Occasion of Scandal Must Be Avoided....
I totally disagree with the idea of communion by hand. As a faithful maronite, I see only a communion on the tongue, because jesus holy body and blood is intented to purify us from sin. Other than the communion by tongue/mouth I see devils work. As for standing or kneeling, it does not matter, as long we made peace wiyh the Lord via a real confession from the heart, and approaching the eucharist in a white heart. I will pray for the church, so the holy trinity give her strength, to be a strong rock, where hell gates won't overcome it. God bless our church, to be victorious on devil and his work. ---A faithful maronite, from the holy land -cedars of God - Lebanon mountains (transfiguration site)- Lebanon. Peace and love be amongst you. Be ready, the time is near...1-confess, 2-get holy communion,3- pray the rosay,4- lent /stop your body-based addiction 5- read in the bible 6- pick a saint as an example in your life. Your way to Jesus.... God bless you all...
Maronites? I think it is neat how the Maronites always sing the words of the Consecration in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, regardless of the language in which the rest of the liturgy is sung. As a matter of history, the speaker is wrong. Jesus administered the First Eucharist by giving it to his Apostles while they were sitting at a table. We must be wary of attempts to impose the Roman ritual on all of the 23 rites of the Universal Catholic Church, especially their unsanitary practice of drinking the consecrated wine out of a common cup. But contrary to what the speaker says, no one, in any Roman Catholic church I ever have attended, has been denied the opportunity to receive communion on the tongue if that is what he or she desires. I am a Ukrainian Catholic, and we receive communion by means of a gold spoon, on which is a piece of the consecrated bread and a small amount of consecrated wine. Done right, the spoon never makes contact with the recipient.
Shirtless and for the tongue vs hand. Hands are filthy and that leads to desecration just like chewing in the host. Plus, disciples were bishops so they can receive in the hand.
Just incase somebody is giving you a hard time... No priest has the right to lecture you or encourage you to receive kneeling/tongue. They may however encourage standing/hand because it is the legal/licit in the Church.
@@alhilford2345 We used to see the occasional communicant making it clear that they wanted to recieve on the tongue and priests seem to be very accomodation. Not anymore. That's been 'delta-ed' out.
Holy communion..the body of christ should be received kneeling and on the tongue always,NOT left to local Bishops to decide.true reverence to the Blessed Sacrament of the Alter......all else is Heresey
The Eastern Catholics receive standing and by a spoon. The Early Christian tradition received in Hand. If you want tradition, remove all the pews and remain standing the entire Mass. Pews were added as Protestants had them.
It may surprise you to find out that cushions and carpeting have only been installed in churches in the past few years. Before that we had wooden kneelers in the pews and stone steps at the altar rail. More Catholics went to Mass back in those days!
Can I just say it is not preferred or optional, but the only way to receive Holy Communion. Anyone who says it is an option has no understanding of sacred Tradition and is playing right into the hands of modernists who say everything is just about preference. NO NO NO. Our faith is informed by Sacred Tradition. A person who wastes time saying it is a preference when they should be saying it is the only way to receive communion has missed the point completely..
Do you really think He who brought the Cosmos and all life into being and loves every soul unreservedly, really cares if you kneel, sit, stand, stick your tong out or swing from the chandeliers when you take the Eucharist. It all seems a very long way from the poor carpenter in Nazareth.
+JamesBrown: Your comment carry both meanings. On the literal phase, God does not care; on the ironic phase, He does, and very much so. I prefer the latter. Also, your use of 'poor' is not correct - 'humble' is a better one. 'poor' is comparative - 'humble' is intrinsic.
They can buy back all the equipment they need. The best tractors to pipeline the Sahara low hot eye of the hurricane with ocean water to make a fishery.
I fail to see how tongue or hand actually matters. Christ set neither standard, did he? It is about communion and about Christ. How does either form desecrate the ritual
I really pray I will live the day this good Cardinal becomes Pope
He can't become Pope bc he is a Cardinal Bishop which means that he is more powerful that a regular Cardinal preist, but can't become Pope

Since the altar rails were removed as part of 'reordering' in the 1990s it has become increasingly difficult to receive Our Lord kneeling. It is now more than a year since I returned to receiving Holy Communion on the tongue. I have also stopped receiving the Precious Blood from the chalice.

no kneelers or rails makes it hard to kneel without being "a nuisance"

It’s hard to kneel if there’s no kneeler I couldn’t get back up! There’s only one parish that has kneelers and basilica has rails.

Music that doesn't fall into one of those categories is not even mentioned, so we cannot blame its presence in the liturgy on the Council, or the Vatican, or any of our popes. It is entirely the fault of individual, rebellious bishops and priests (and some lay people).
@@andrewsheedy4513 Thank You!
What document is the cardinal speaking about? I need some back up to bring up these liturgical abuses happening in my diocese. Thanks!
Redemptionis Sacramentum (spelling?)
Personally I like to receive the whole body of Christ by tongue and not in my hand where it can break crumble or leave residue. I like to kneel if the small bench is available.
Kneel on the floor if you have too. My family and I have never received in the hand or standing. We were the only ones in the church kneeling at the time. We have now found a real priest who says the Latin Mass exclusively and everyone who receives shows proper respect and kneels.
Latin Mass has never gone away in the Latin Rite of the catholic church, they are more . There is also the Byzantine Rite, Coptic, Armenian, Syro-Malabar and others. Some use Greek, Coptic, and other customs according to the culture and community. They are all right as long as no disrespect is done to the consecrated bread and wine.maryourmother.net/Eastern.html
So do you take a stand for communion on the tongue and kneeling? have you confronted your priest and bishop and asked them why they persists in causing desecration to the Host? Have you banned together with your fellow Catholics and gone as a group to confront the priest about the proper way to receive or just allow things to go on as usual and watch the desecrations take place.
You know if Catholics banned together and stood their ground none of these changes would have taken place. Quit funding a priest who shows no respect for Our Lord and watch how fast he would change. There are nine ways to aid in another's sin and silence is one of them.
We are so privaledged to legally take communion, this non-issue only demonstrates this fact and God bless this Cardinal
Pope Arinze 🙏, I pray one day
from now on my family do not received My Lord's body on the hand.
I think it is mainly a American problem that some priest do not approve of kneeling.
and every DRE has one way or another undermined my teaching my children to receive on the tongue. Even the good ones. They tell me it my children's choice. Kids are going to choose to not stick out. So from the very beginning they make children disposed to disobey their mother and father. I had no choice but to go along.
I agree. It is a scandal. Very disappointing.
You did have a choice. You could go to the priest, the pastor, and if necessary, the bishop or the archbishop or the cardinal, or even right to the pope. When someone tells you something that is wrong, don't put up with it.
@@timothycorbitt5149 honestly, I didn’t know at the time. This was the 90’s, early 2000”s. I didn’t know what was allowed anymore. Everything was so crazy.
And it never occurred to me to complain to the bishop. It just never occurred to me that a bishop would listen to a housewife. Who ever heard of that?
Karina, they don't have a choice! Politely explain to your Priest that he is wrong. If he still won't administer the Eucharist to you, bring it to the Bishop. If the Bishop will not help you, write to Rome. God bless.
I receive on the tongue but more often than not the priest or extraordinary minister's finger brushes my tongue. I don't know if it is because I am doing something wrong (I'm a convert and just imitate what I see...I was never properly taught what to do).
Anyone have advice for this? Every once in a while maybe 10-20 percent there is no finger-tongue contact but I'd like to do all I can to increase that. Thanks :)
The GIRM #160 says standing is the Norm but that no one can be denied for kneeling.
YES Nkhumeleni Muifha let us also remember that nowhere in the bible does it use the word Trinity ...And when learning from the bible, lets use it in it's entirety ...the whole bible ...OLD testament which conceals the new in it, and the NEW testament which reveals the old testament as a whole document instead of out of context passages of scriptures. Let us also understand the writings based on the nuances of the original languages used, the cultural norms and events of the day for those the texts were directed towards. ....Further, why don't we read texts from the EARLY church Fathers that weren't chosen to be part of the Gospel ...Texts that were written by those who carried the faith throughout the world .Great ideas !
No, they shouldn't just encourage kneeling. It should be enforced. It is travesty to not do so.
I agree!
I hope to see you face to face someday before you depart from this exile 🌍😣🙏🙏♥️
WHAT !!!! I cannot believe it !!!
Amen

Note paragraph 90-92 of Redemptionis Sacramentum
[92.] Although each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue, at his choice,[178] if any communicant should wish to receive the Sacrament in the hand, in areas where the Bishops’ Conference with the recognitio of the Apostolic See has given permission, the sacred host is to be administered to him or her....
Alan Sides- We do not have Consecrated hands. I will receive my Lord only on the tongue.
It must be remembered that Communion on the tongue is the law of the
Church. Communion in the hand is an exception to the law (it is an “indult”) which is not commanded but only allowed if all the conditions outlined by the Vatican are present. If the conditions are not present then the permission is not granted and Communion on the tongue only is permitted. The seven conditions are based on two principles as the official document points out. These two principles are not something that the Pope could change even if he wanted to because they are based on Divine Revelation itself. Every Occasion of Scandal Must Be Avoided....
_Novus Ordo_ is a permanent induit!
I totally disagree with the idea of communion by hand. As a faithful maronite, I see only a communion on the tongue, because jesus holy body and blood is intented to purify us from sin. Other than the communion by tongue/mouth I see devils work.
As for standing or kneeling, it does not matter, as long we made peace wiyh the Lord via a real confession from the heart, and approaching the eucharist in a white heart.
I will pray for the church, so the holy trinity give her strength, to be a strong rock, where hell gates won't overcome it.
God bless our church, to be victorious on devil and his work.
---A faithful maronite, from the holy land -cedars of God - Lebanon mountains (transfiguration site)- Lebanon.
Peace and love be amongst you. Be ready, the time is near...1-confess, 2-get holy communion,3- pray the rosay,4- lent /stop your body-based addiction 5- read in the bible 6- pick a saint as an example in your life.
Your way to Jesus.... God bless you all...
Maronites? I think it is neat how the Maronites always sing the words of the Consecration in Aramaic, the language of Jesus, regardless of the language in which the rest of the liturgy is sung.
As a matter of history, the speaker is wrong. Jesus administered the First Eucharist by giving it to his Apostles while they were sitting at a table.
We must be wary of attempts to impose the Roman ritual on all of the 23 rites of the Universal Catholic Church, especially their unsanitary practice of drinking the consecrated wine out of a common cup. But contrary to what the speaker says, no one, in any Roman Catholic church I ever have attended, has been denied the opportunity to receive communion on the tongue if that is what he or she desires.
I am a Ukrainian Catholic, and we receive communion by means of a gold spoon, on which is a piece of the consecrated bread and a small amount of consecrated wine. Done right, the spoon never makes contact with the recipient.
wonderful
i can’t kneel my knees haven’t fully grown yet i don’t think
THE ONLY WAY TO RECEIVE JESUS IS TO KNEEL AND ON THE TONGUE PERIOD. THERE SHOULD BE NO DISCUSSION.
At the Last Supper, did the Apostles kneel and receive Communion on the tongue? Or did Jesus hand it to them while sitting at a table?
Shirtless- The Apostles were Consecrated Priests. We do not have Consecrated Hands.
Apostles are priests and priests only touch the Eucharist. And in the Bible, it says to kneel before Jesus.
@@itsnando20 Where does it say that in the Bible?
Shirtless Philippians 2:10. “At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bend.”
Shirtless and for the tongue vs hand. Hands are filthy and that leads to desecration just like chewing in the host. Plus, disciples were bishops so they can receive in the hand.
Just incase somebody is giving you a hard time... No priest has the right to lecture you or encourage you to receive kneeling/tongue. They may however encourage standing/hand because it is the legal/licit in the Church.
Wrong!
A good priest will insist that you kneel and receive on your tongue.
@@alhilford2345 We used to see the occasional communicant making it clear that they wanted to recieve on the tongue and priests seem to be very accomodation. Not anymore. That's been 'delta-ed' out.
Did Jesus have altar servers!!!!! Does Jesus instruct us about this in His scriptures.
Only the way to do it.
What about neochatecumens????
WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR AND ARE OH
PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO KNEEL ARE THEY BANNED FROM TAKING COMMUNION?
Did you even watch the video?
There’s exceptions. If you can kneel, kneel. If not, stand.
@@itsnando20
Nice one, but I was asking about peope like myself, who are
permanently confined to their wheelchair, and can't stand at all
Liz B then just come up in your wheel chair or ask if the priest can come to you. I’m sure they’ll do that. Just do what you can do.
In my church, the priest comes to the disabled first.
Bravo!
What is the book name please if some people no the book please write it to me
what is the name of this cardinal ?
thank you
Arinze
@@madona370 No.
Holy communion..the body of christ should be received kneeling and on the tongue always,NOT left to local Bishops to decide.true reverence to the Blessed Sacrament of the Alter......all else is Heresey
Is that Cardinal Ratzinger? The zeitgeist of Modernism is all-pervasive and must be resisted by the faithful.
I know you know words
The Eastern Catholics receive standing and by a spoon. The Early Christian tradition received in Hand. If you want tradition, remove all the pews and remain standing the entire Mass. Pews were added as Protestants had them.
No good if your priest makes you kneel on the hard floor and makes you say Amen. Not even a cushion means NOT giving an alternative
It may surprise you to find out that cushions and carpeting have only been installed in churches in the past few years.
Before that we had wooden kneelers in the pews and stone steps at the altar rail.
More Catholics went to Mass back in those days!
That is insane. Did you take it to the Archbishop?
O k I'll do it
Can I just say it is not preferred or optional, but the only way to receive Holy Communion. Anyone who says it is an option has no understanding of sacred Tradition and is playing right into the hands of modernists who say everything is just about preference. NO NO NO. Our faith is informed by Sacred Tradition. A person who wastes time saying it is a preference when they should be saying it is the only way to receive communion has missed the point completely..
@DangeloM27 there will be last pope after Benedict XVI

Do you really think He who brought the Cosmos and all life into being and loves every soul unreservedly, really cares if you kneel, sit, stand, stick your tong out or swing from the chandeliers when you take the Eucharist.
It all seems a very long way from the poor carpenter in Nazareth.
+JamesBrown: Your comment carry both meanings. On the literal phase, God does not care; on the ironic phase, He does, and very much so. I prefer the latter. Also, your use of 'poor' is not correct - 'humble' is a better one. 'poor' is comparative - 'humble' is intrinsic.
James:
Yes.
I believe He does care.
Is this still valid?
Yes, as long as a priest consecrated the Host and Blood!

The tongue and the hand are both important in doing God’s work. Talk vs. action. Some people are all talk hence they are pro-tongue.
I fail to see how tongue or hand actually matters. Christ set neither standard, did he? It is about communion and about Christ. How does either form desecrate the ritual
Joseph Chapman- The Priest Has Consecrated hands. We do not. This is why it matters.
When received on the hand, crumbs are likely to fall. And when you receive in the hand, you touch the body of Christ with your dirty hands.
It matters!
You should try both ways. There’s a huge difference in kneeling on tongue and standing on hand!! Kneeling on tongue from now on!
You witnessed the miracle of allah americus the code sol verse
Is all this biblically or according to the laws of the catholics?
Biblical. At the name of Jesus, you kneel.
Bread into fish. I did that didnt I. Sand into water wine tears from your eyes. Miracle pole c who?
Tell that to the priests! Make it the rule, so we don't have to be oppressed. Stop being so wishy-washy your eminences.
Your right but the next pope will be an Italian named Peter the Roman.
You guys do know that not all Cardinals are priests right? You dont have to be a priest to be a Cardinal.
Cardial Arinze would have been a better pope than Francis. But then again, so would a football with a mitre on it.
lets read the bible and understand it, and lets not subtract nor add...the bible is very clear..so stop coming with your own opinions...
in reality this cardinal want to destroy! the Latin Tridentine Rite
