Student Who Took Religious Icon Getting Death Threats
...............................................................................
Shows what I don't know about Catholicism....I didn't realize that not
swallowing the "body of Christ" was the religious equivalent of eating bacon in a mosque. Will a fatwa be uttered by the local priest or bishop?
What is the harm of not eating the "body of Christ"? So what, if the guy does not want communion....who is hurt by it? Call me naieve. I know...I am missing the literal conception of the wafer & wine.
So, in essence he stole a piece of Christ's body....... Yeah...right.

"It is also clear that behind each and every Communion in the hand, at least objectively speaking, we can see satanical machinations at work, as Satan is the Great Imitator and master of egalitarian deception by making the bread of this world appear to be equal to the Bread of Heaven wherever he can."
>> What happens if a plate of wafers falls and gets contaminated...? What happens to them? <<
"Now what are these sacrileges, venial or serious sins, that this seemingly innocent "Novus Ordo Missae" rubric countenances with every single Communion in the hand? While even one such deed done, disrespectfully and knowingly, is certainly a mortal sin and a sacrilege at the same time, it is nevertheless too abundant, if only one. By the same token such liturgical oversights, if even venial, are likewise abundant if only done once in the entire world. But no, these violations are pandemic, not only venially but also mortally as sacrileges. Why? Because each and every time a liberal Catholic receives Communion in the hand, particles, flakes, or infinitesimal specs can and do fall from their hands on to the floor, no matter how careful or careless they may be when receiving the host from the priest, especially because the rubric of altar boys with patens has been a thing of the past since Communion in the hand's very innovation. Nor is anything done to clean up these egregious sacrileges, purposeful or not, when they obviously do occur by clergy, sacristans, or even the so-called extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist. Everybody, that is an observant Catholic these days, has seen these disgraceful and careless oversights whenever such liturgical mishaps do occur, with precious little or no effort at rescuing the Sacred Presence from further sacrilegious disgrace. This is an abomination in the House of God! This so seriously violates the Pauline rubric of Eucharistic reverence for clergy and communicants everywhere and always: to never act as though the Body and Blood of Christ were not present or to fail to discern the Body of Our Lord in Communion for as St. Paul says: "he who eateth and drinketh the Body and Blood of the Lord unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself."

wafers were placed in a chalice which made it difficult for them to slip away.
