Comments on: The Eucharist is not a Weapon: Part II http://datinggod.org/2011/10/10/the-eucharist-is-not-a-weapon-part-ii/ Franciscan Spirituality for the 21st Century Wed, 22 May 2013 15:46:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Failey http://datinggod.org/2011/10/10/the-eucharist-is-not-a-weapon-part-ii/#comment-3589 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:28:05 +0000 http://datinggod.org/?p=5140#comment-3589 The following is from the new (third) edition of the Missale Romanum:
“Holy Communion has a more complete form as a sign when it is received under both kinds. For in this manner of reception a fuller sign of the Eucharistic banquet shines forth. Moreover there is a clearer expression of that will by which the new and everlasting covenant is ratified in the blood of the Lord and of the relationship of the Eucharistic banquet to the eschatological banquet in the Father’s kingdom.” (GIRM, no. 281)

The General Instruction from 2002 is the one to be included in the newly revised Roman Missal (if memory serves me correctly, there may be some slight edits, but the 2002 GIRM is indeed included in the 3rd edition of the RM.)

If you cant seem to locate it in order to pin point the expiration than how did the practice become so wide spread so quickly? Also, what’s the point of quoting a soon to be outdated GIRM?

If receiving under both species is the real issue, lets call for the universal practice of intinction. If not than what is the real issue?

Intinction would be a happy answer for all I think. As you probably know, the Orthodox receive the Body, Blood, Soul and divinity of our Lord via a spoon delivering the consecrated, leaven bread, soaked in consecrated wine directly in the mouth of the recipient. They also commune infants.

Intinction provides communion under both species, removes the fear of germs some may have and has the added benefit of mitigating some of the more egregious profanities made possible by receiving in the hand.

On this page I find, “Examining the Missal’s Contents” by the esteemed Paul turner.

To quote paragraph one, which addresses Additions: “Some sections are new to the third edition of The Roman Missal. The introductory material includes the pertinent decree from the Vatican authorizing the use of the book. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal for this edition, first published in English in 2003, reappears now in its proper context with a revised translation. The norms for Communion under both kinds, which were approved for the United States in 2002, are now included as well.

(emphasis mine) (hope my code works too, for emphasis)

I see you must have been confused in your translation of the Greek word Pharmakon, which can both be translated as “Poison” and “Medicine” — I’m delighted to know that what you found here on this website has provided you with the medicine of faith, for as St. Bonaventure makes clear in his Breviloquium, Christ is the physician who heals us through the Sacraments. Enjoy the Pharmakon of DatingGod.org!

I stumbled across this blog looking for something fruitful and all I found was poison.

This all sounds most sensible and in accord with the Church’s tradition. The moot point is whose planet is the other one.
