The thread is...Here's the text of the message:<br /><br />The thread is closed pending review, but I thought I would share the following comments with you:<br /><br />In comment 25, you wrote that "the norm, universally, in the Latin Rite, is for reception of the Eucharist to be done on the tongue, and kneeling, whereas the standing and in the hand is the exception (it is given through an indult)."<br /><br />While receiving in the hand is permitted via indult, receiving standing is not. In 1967, the Instruction Eucharisticum Mysterium from the Sacred Congregation of Rites allowed bishops' conferences to decide on the posture to be used for reception of Holy Communion:<br /><br /> 34. a) In accordance with the custom of the Church, Communion may be received by the faithful either kneeling or standing. One or the other way is to be chosen, according to the decision of the episcopal conference, bearing in mind all the circumstances, above all the number of the faithful and the arrangement of the churches. The faithful should willingly adopt the method indicated by their pastors, so that Communion may truly be a sign of the brotherly union of all those who share in the same table of the Lord.<br /><br />Second, in comment 29, you wrote: "For centuries, up until 1973, the Church regarded the Eucharist as worthy for the ministers of the Church (deacon, priest) to handle and distribute the Eucharist. Why this constant practice changed all of a sudden is beyond me."<br /><br />While Immensae Caritatis (from 1973) is generally identified as the document which permits extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, the practice was already being permitted on a smaller scale during the 1960's after Vatican II in certain communities (such as women's religious orders). I can provide you some documentation for this later today.<br /><br />Have a merry and blessed Christmas, and may God keep you close in the new year!Jeffrey Pinyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758581112217835988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189415.post-17492689889739006902010-12-29T09:48:37.796-05:002010-12-29T09:48:37.796-05:00Andrew, I'll post my message to you here later...Andrew, I'll post my message to you here later today.

I can't read it because I've been banned (CAF's forum is dumb that way, imho).<br /><br />Can you post it here? Or, message me via this?Andrew Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416362476181360949noreply@blogger.com
