Need some more catechesis maybe? Excellent post by the way, things have gotten too lax a lot of places. You know what really gets my goat the most is people who insist on talking I mean we are trying to worship GOD for crying out loud leave the cell phone at home or have the conversation after Mass, its ridiculous God is here for us 24-7 and they can't shut up for a couple hours?Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192410506776148236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-80730431410161884942009-07-25T14:17:29.324-05:002009-07-25T14:17:29.324-05:00Jill ~ About the Twittergate scandal, well, some p...Jill ~ About the Twittergate scandal, well, some people really don't like that someone else has a differing opinion, but instead of engaging in fair discussion to support their point, they randomly make ad hominem attacks and then run away to their glass houses where they think they can hide. *sigh*<br /><br />Now, on feminism and the Bible...I totally agree with you! <br /><br />JC ~ You should act on that idea of yours! ;-)<br /><br />Julia ~ Well...they asked, all I did was answer! lolAdorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-56371386348401122992009-07-25T11:33:15.300-05:002009-07-25T11:33:15.300-05:00This is off topic, I just wondered why someone on ...This is off topic, I just wondered why someone on twitter would give you a hard time for having been a cop. Like the job wouldn't be hard enough without getting bashed for it too? Sorry you had to endure that. No reason for it, either. Love what you said about women and the Bible-all the "feminists" have done for women is dehumanize us and make pregnancy a disease instead of the gift from God it is. Their legacy is women who want to be men, in my opinion they have failed utterly.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192410506776148236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-37417161284915355272009-07-25T08:46:12.087-05:002009-07-25T08:46:12.087-05:00That's kind of a funny list of questions!That's kind of a funny list of questions!Julianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-73386587928845332762009-07-24T15:57:47.153-05:002009-07-24T15:57:47.153-05:00Bravo.

And that Patron Saint of prostitutes thing sounds familiar, I've somehow had a few hits from that, too. Broadening the question a bit, I might add Sts Monica (patroness saint of the victims of adultery), Catherine of Siena (who is the patroness saint against sexual temptations), and Mary Magdalene (patroness saint against sexual temptation).Dr. Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210899232931814200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-72062849593201557022009-07-24T14:27:22.947-05:002009-07-24T14:27:22.947-05:00FYI ~ I have updated this post, added a link to th...FYI ~ I have updated this post, added a link to the canon law post (so as to avoid rehashing the exact same quibbles all over again...go there to do it), and added a couple more questions that I've gotten but didn't answer specifically in the previous posts.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-12538552272708682182009-07-24T13:39:41.886-05:002009-07-24T13:39:41.886-05:00mgibson! ~ Hey!

Are you blogging again or just commenting????<br /><br />I actually didn't get fully into Canon Law because I did an entire post on Canon 916 and related. :-) Which of course, you missed. <br /><br />My point in this post was to point out if someone is just showing up ONLY for Communion they should not receive. Canon Law itself is silent on "how late is late" but it calls for full participation in the Mass or other Eucharistic Celebration" in order to receive. <br /><br />We got into THAT quibbling in the combox of the other post, too! That post gets a lot of hits so here I wanted to just hit the bare tacks. :-)<br /><br />Of course we agree, so now here's your assignment: go back and read ALL of my posts for the last couple years and that should catch you up..... ;-) (kidding!!!!) nice to "see" you again!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-68595696989588550182009-07-24T11:34:33.088-05:002009-07-24T11:34:33.088-05:00Only one quibble... if one is going to a daily, no...Only one quibble... if one is going to a daily, non-obligatory Mass and is technically "late" they can still receive Communion if properly disposed to do so.<br /><br />As you observed, Church law is that to be able to have Mass "count" you need to be present for the Gospel (i.e., on Sunday if you missed the Gospel you need to still go to Mass because you haven't fulfilled your Sunday duty to participate in MASS, whether or not you receive). This is because the Gospel is the key point of the Liturgy of the Word, and you need to be present for both the Liturgy of the Word and Eucharist to have objectively been to the fullness of Mass. But receiving Communion, as you point out, is distinct from the celebration of Mass itself (other than the priest's own reception, which is required for the Mass to be valid).<br /><br />Canon law stipulates that one may receive Communion twice in one day, as long as the second time is within Mass (viaticum excepted of course) - implying that the first time one receives it is not necessary to be present for the entire Mass, which explains the Italian (at least) custom of coming in at the Agnus Dei at daily Mass. A few priests I have inquired about this have responded similarly, at least as regards daily Mass that is non-obligatory, though of course they hope that those who come late will read the readings on their own.<br /><br />Chalk another one up to the problems of having Italian/Latin laws interpreted in a society with Germanic-British legal roots.<br /><br />Perhaps Pete Vere can shed further light on this, but as it stands, I think it's ok for daily communicants who come late occasionally to still receive as long as it is their first reception of the day (usually only one... the second time isn't meant to be a daily thing either, just in place to help with weddings, funerals etc - thus the stipulation about being present for the whole Mass!)<br /><br />Anyway. My two cents. :)Maria Nevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150892277145928764noreply@blogger.com
