In my opinion Bones needed to qualify his point making it clear that he was referring to receiving with unclean hands, or in the left hand or of picking up the Sacred Host with the fingers.

People would prostrate themselves and their hands would be purified and they would not pick up the Sacred Host but have it placed on the palm whence it was taken directly in the mouth. Fingers never touched the Host.

He never mentioned Confession or necessity of being in a state of grace.

Ever.<br /><br />Presuming not so much that Hell is empty as that you know who's there-Hitler and paedophiles usually- and who won't be-my wonderful self, because I'm nice and God is too caring to worry about old-fashioned concepts like sin.<br /><br />Presuming that complete strangers halfway across a large church would much rather be accosted by your sign of peace half way through the 'Agnus Dei' than concentrate on the Mass. No. sorry, that's just bad manners.

At least in the States, there is a real movement back to the basics of the Faith. And, if you would compare the Catholic media of today with articles ten years ago, you would see a huge sea change-the number of orthodox people writing has grown exponentially. Sadly, the English (and Welsh and Scottish) Catholic Church is stuck in the 1980s with feel-good religion.<br /><br />Of course, this will end when churches close because of the lack of vocations. <br /><br />We need strong Catholic families to produce strong Catholic men who will respond to the remnant Church. <br /><br />The acceptance of Pelagianism and universal salvation among the laity must be addressed. And, what people need are some good old-fashioned hell-fire and brimstone sermons. Some will go to hell for laxity. I see the divide here clearly-as the remnant gets stronger and the unorthodox fall away entirely.Supertradmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829935047036023159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-90884030541197453282014-01-06T15:41:11.644+00:002014-01-06T15:41:11.644+00:00presumptions against kneeling to receive Our Lord ...presumptions against kneeling to receive Our Lord - presuming the superiority of late and local custom of standing and handling.<br /><br />presumptions against consecrated hands - presuming that peace shakes are more important than the sacred.<br /><br />presumptions that piety makes for unnice pretend catholics - presuming that casual equals holy.<br /><br />there's more but it won't be any revelation.Our Lady of Good Success-pray for us.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14746510579669229511noreply@blogger.com
