Laudate_Dominum Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 [quote name='BeenaBobba' date='Sep 11 2004, 11:53 PM'] Yeah? That's pretty cool! I honestly didn't know that. You're Chaldean, right? Can you tell me a bit about how Communion is received in non-Byzantine Eastern Catholics Churches? (Do you know if this other way is a Latinization or if it's a legitimate Eastern practice?) Anyhow, I'm just curious. God bless, Jen [/quote] I served as a sub-deacon in the Melkite Church and the Eucharist was cut into rectangular strips which were dipped into the chalice and placed directly into the communicants mouth.

BeenaBobba Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' date='Sep 12 2004, 01:54 AM'] cool. It is an area that I think would be quite interesting to study in depth. I imagine that there are books somewhere that study the two approaches and compare them. [/quote] You know, I think there might be a book out about that. If you do a search on Anthony Dragani's forum, you might be able to find something. I definitely recall reading about it. [quote]I have this tentative idea of getting a Masters degree in Eastern Orthodox Theology. I would have my undergrad in Roman Catholic Theology so maybe someday I will be qualified to write something about this. [/quote] Haha. Cool! I'll buy your book, then!

MichaelFilo Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 (edited) In both Syriac and Chaldean rites, the Bread is dipped in the Precious Blood, and placed directly in the communicant's mouth. (Receiving by hand is out of the question, since the Bread is saturated with the Precious Blood). The Chaldeans are apretty new addition to the Catholic flock, so I don't know how much Latinization went on.
