Communion in the Hand by Laity ... without a priest (seriously)

It is humorous that they encourage the laity to 'participate' by distributing communion (which is bad in an of itself) without a priest.

Well if a priest was doing what he's supposed to be doing - then there wouldn't be any 'Eucharistic Ministers'.

The End of Communion Services without a Priest in California

August 17, 2018
fsspx.news



Laity are being instructed not to distribute the Holy Eucharist without a priest

The bishop of Santa Rosa, CA, has ordered an immediate end to religious services in which the Holy Eucharist is distributed to the faithful without a priest present, declaring that this practice “is not consistent with the Instructions from the Holy See.”
“It has become common in a number of Parishes and Institutions in the Diocese of Santa Rosa for Deacons and Laity to hold Communion Services in the Absence of a Priest on both Sundays and weekdays,” wrote Bishop Vasa in a statement published on the website of his diocese on July 25.
“While popular,” wrote the prelate, this practice “is not consistent with the Instructions from the Holy See".
Bishop Vasa ordered these communion services without a priest on Sundays and weekdays to cease completely everywhere in his diocese, effective August 1, 2018.
The bishop of Santa Rosa’s decision is praiseworthy; but will it be enough to put an end to a practice whose principle is unfortunately permitted by the Code of Canon Law promulgated in 1983, that says the faithful can distribute communion “when the need of the Church warrants it and ministers are lacking”? (Canon 230,3)
This liberal legislation of 1983 corresponds with what was practiced just after the Council, as the Dominican Fr. Calmel described in his letter of September 15, 1972:
No more tonsure, no more sub-diaconate; they begin with the diaconate; and the Eucharistic ministry (Communion for the sick, distributing Communion) can be entrusted to laymen; and the (‘collegialized’) national conferences could spread this practice even more. The Modernist system of devaluating and ruining the priesthood is at work thanks to Paul VI.

Regarding Post: Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer no longer ... now Bishop Joseph Pfeiffer (Can't see this being a problem...)

By
 + JMJ   I've been watching the popularity of the post about Fr. Pfeiffer's attempted episcopal consecration and its continued top listing on the 'popular posts' list at the bottom of posts.  After some thought, I decided that I don't want to be responsible for anyone joining Fr. Pfeiffer's 'group', however unlikely that would be at this time. So I have reverted the article to the draft state. If anyone wants it reinstated, I would ask that they comment on this post with a rationale for reinstatement. P^3

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations - Courtesy of SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ In the blogosphere there are number of responses to this crisis in the Catholic Church that lead to conclusions that run counter to Catholic Doctrine and Dogmas - if taken to their logical conclusion. The validity of the New Rite of Episcopal consecrations is one such hotspot within more extreme sections of the 'traditionalist' culture. Validity of new rite of episcopal consecrations Courtesy of SSPX.org Why the new rite of episcopal consecration is valid Introduction This comprehensive study was compiled to settle a debate that has been circulating in traditional Catholic circles. Some writers have examined the new rite of episcopal consecration and concluded that it must be invalid. Since this would cause manifest problems if it were true and due to the heightened awareness of such a theory, we present a study of this question concluding that it is valid. Following the Council, in 1968 a new rite for the ordination of bishops was promulg...

SSPX.org: Don Davide Pagliarani Meets with Pope Francis

By
 + JMJ This meeting was noted a while back and  the announcement is generally aligned with what I heard through the grape vine. P^3   Courtesy of SSPX.org On Tuesday, February 8, 2022, Don Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), went to Rome. On this occasion there was a personal meeting with Pope Francis, who received him in private audience for about half an hour. The informal conversation was very polite and gave the Superior General the opportunity to introduce himself to the Holy Father, whom he was meeting for the first time. This meeting made it possible to show that the SSPX has no other goal than to serve the Church in the midst of the current crisis. Fr. Pagliarani had the opportunity to make it clear to the Pope that everything the Society does has only this service in mind. Mutual good memories of Argentina were also exchanged. This visit by the Superior General to the Holy Father corresponded to a...
