Why is a mere bit of furniture given greater<br />precedence than the Real Presence? Why this insistence on breaking <br />the link between tabernacle and altar?<br /><br />Were I a priest called upon to celebrate Mass in a sanctuary ordered<br />like that, I'd flat refuse to sit there-- better to sit on the floor than in<br />the place that should be occupied by my Lord. It is one thing to have<br />the tabernacle in a chapel, as is done in large churches where it is <br />often necessary to do so to preserve a quiet place for adoration. This<br />arrangement pictured here keeps the tabernacle near the altar for <br />convenience's sake, but places it as though the Host is an afterthought<br />and secondary to the 'presider'. It is a denial of the Real Presence.<br /><br />If the veil was lifted, and Christ was visible as He is and not merely <br />under the appearance of bread and wine, would He still be made to<br />stand aside while pride of place was given to Fr. Showboat?<br /><br />As you can guess, I utterly loathe this sort of un-Catholic arrangement.<br />The liturgists who promote this are incompetent and the priests who<br />accept it are fools.Clintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712059572246224878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181589320170374720.post-46100780684205920732012-04-22T23:33:15.092-07:002012-04-22T23:33:15.092-07:00Wow.

It seems that REDEMPTORIS SACRAMENTUM is a PAPER TIGER.<br /><br />I asked three priests about the abuse of not using the communion plate:<br />-first one, now the communion plate is used in one row to the communion(5 years old ministrant holding it bad, for example), the extraordinary(ordinary) minister of Holy communion didn't use it.<br />-second one, he answered me that he is not using it and that if in the particles is present Christ is a theological debate <br />-third one, my parish priest, use the communion plate only when there is a ministrant and never purificate it unless I am the ministrant and put communion plate on the altar after the distribution. In the other parish church he even has a extraordinary minister who every sunday goes to distribute the Holy Communion to the choir (no communion plate obviously).<br /><br />It causes me a lot of pain, because I know that sacrilege is inevitable. <br /><br />Very good blog.
