Chamomile Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Why is it done? Where did it originate? Or has it always been done? Why would priests choose to do it? Why would they choose not to do it? What happens if a priest doesn't want to concelebrate or have concelebrants with him? Is that consider rude amongst priests? Is there a limit on the number of priests who can concelebrate? What's the theology behind this? As only one priest could consecrate the bread and wine, what is the role of the other priest, liturgically and theologically? How does this differ from the Deacon's role at Mass, if he's also there? How do they choose which priest is the celebrant and which priest(s) is/are the concelebrant(s)? Thanks!
