ETA: No, that was pretty beaver dam crazy.

And for the record, I have never once received in the hand.

I have it on good authority that NO, you aren't.

Well I wasn't planning on watching it until you said that, but yeah, I found it pretty creepy as well.

I am becoming an altar boy soon. I wish I was in the Wichita diocese because we do not have any patens in one parish of our diocese, and all of this talk about "wielding patens" has put me in a war type of mood. It's probably best that we don't have any in our diocese, though. If I saw someone throwing the Eucharist in their mouth like I have heard people doing I would probably whack them in the back of the head with it.

The crazy dream sequences were probably the most effective part of that movie. The rest was fairly uninspired, IMO.

This begs the question: Why did I watch the trailer?! I won't be able to sleep all night and I have to wake up at six thirty! I'm going to be looking behind me for a bull skull in a red suit all night...

The real question is: Why did they remake this movie at all?

Because Hollywood doesn't have an imagination anymore. All the new movies are simply remade old movies from the sixties, seventies and eighties.

I hope that the indult allowing Communion in the hand is removed at some point in the foreseeable future. It would take catechesis and lots of patience, but I think it would bear much good fruit.

I agree with this. I pray that Pope Benedict is moving towards an end to that indult. I honestly think it will be a welcome change, just as the new translation has been.

My parish in the 80's was run by a community of priests who gave such disregard for the Blessed Sacrament, that they would leave the Precious Blood in the Chalice over nite (no purification of vessels after Mass, they would just leave what ever was left of Him for the next day, sitting in the chalice.) Also, the bread they used was extemely fragile, it would flake ALOT. (This is not allowed, but they used it anyway.) At one Mass, flakes of Christ were literally flying everywhere during Holy Communion. At the end of Mass, when the church was empty, I went up to the front and knelt down amongst hundreds of particles of Jesus strewn all over the floor. It broke my heart so much, I wept. The sacristan came back to lock up the Church and found me on the floor. I told her about them, and slowly, she started to pick up each piece and eat them.

Later that week, I spoke to the priest about it. Like always, it wasn't fruitful. I went back into the church after our appointment, and I begged good St. Anthony Marie Claret to "convert your sons, please change their hearts, but if their hearts wont' change, please send priests who will revere the Lord to serve in this parish."

That next Sunday, the priests announced that they had received word from their Superior General that they were to be leaving the mission at my parish after 90 years of their community's service! I literally fell to my knees in my pew! The diocese was taking over the parish and were going to send their own priests to serve us. When that new priest arrived, he was amazing! He changed everything. Devotions started again on First Saturdays, he brought religious art/statues back into the church. He began Eucharistic adoration. (Something we still have to this day, even though he has moved away to another parish.) He curbed the use of "extraordinary ministers" of the Eucharist. He had great zeal and a great reverence for Jesus in the Eucharist. He was not welcomed at first, but slowly teh people came around, and they soon realized how much of our Faith we had been missing ...

I was just amazed and in awe that God would hear my prayer, St. Anthony Marie Claret's intercession is so powerful.

We just need to keep praying, becuase there is a lot of ignorance of this great Sacrament, and one that I'm afraid we Catholics take for granted. Instead of debating on the technique, we really need to pray that Catholics will receive him reverently no matter what manner they receive Him. WE need to pray for one another, that we recognize what is happening at that moment when Creator meets His created---how our beautiful Savior, Jesus, is [i]feeding[/i] us [i]Himself[/i], and His most Precious Heart is meeting our own wretched ones!

We get to eat the Flesh and Blood of Jesus everyday! When you think of that, we Catholics really have no excuse to be ugly to one another. The Eucharist should unite us, not divide us. IF we receive God who is Love, inside of us, we need to be living by that Love and for that Love. The Eucharist should transform us into better Christians. Let us be praying for this ...

I was told the indult actually [i]is [/i]over as of this year. Apparently the Bishops asked for a little more time to let people get into the practice of receiving on the tongue, but it was not granted. I am not sure how true this is, though I do hope it is true. Hopefully ending the indult will bring back the beloved altar rail.
