Pope makes a couple of changes to Catholic Mass (2 pictures)

I wonder if he is going to dip the body of Christ into that beer before he takes a nibble?

By Communion is meant the actual reception of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Ascetic writers speak

• of a purely sacramental reception; that is, when the Eucharist is received by a person capable indeed of the fruits but wanting in some disposition so that the effects are not produced;
• of a spiritual reception, that is, by a desire accompanied with sentiments of charity; and
• of a sacramental and spiritual reception, that is, by those who are in a state of grace and have the necessary dispositions.

It is of this last kind there is question here. For real reception of the Blessed Eucharist it is required that the sacred species be received into the stomach. For this alone is the eating referred to by our Lord (John 6:58). Under the moral aspect will be considered, in reference to Holy Communion: necessity; subject; dispositions. The liturgical aspect will embrace: minister of the sacrament; method of administration.
