Communion Kneeling and on the Tongue is Preferred Form - Cardinal Arinze & Redemptionis Sacramentum

Just incase somebody is giving you a hard time... No priest has the right to lecture you or encourage you to receive standing/hand. They may however encourage kneeling/tongue because it is the Traditional/Preferred form in the Church.




I urge all Catholics to firmly resolve to unite themselves completely to the official teachings of the Church and to accept all the teachings of the Holy Father concerning faith and morals with internal religious assent. The closer you are to the Pope the farther you are from schism or division.

Save the Liturgy, Save the world.

There was a note in our bulletin that it is normative for our diocese to not kneel but to stand and bow profoundly or make some other sign of reverence. Receiving Communion on the tongue or in the hand are both considered normal. AFAIK nobody in our own parish has attempted to receive the Blessed Sacrament kneeling so it hasn't been an issue, but a message appearing in the bulletin for the diocese means the issue has been raised somewhere in the diocese.

@BeingBob Watch this again I posted an official document to print out.

Tell that to the priests! Make it the rule, so we don't have to be oppressed. Stop being so wishy-washy your eminences.

@tjttzcspplt watch this video again... I posted an official church document.

Death to modernism! Long live Christ the King!

I think it is mainly a American problem that some priest do not approve of kneeling.

Cardinal Arinze is awesome! :D Beware Catholic faithful, there are many in the Church trying to elevate the Latin Mass above the Venacular Mass. Follow the pope and you won't go wrong. Beware of so called "Catholic," propaganda. If it smells fishy, stay away.

@knarledknuckles Again, I repeat, the bishop took no disciplinary action against this priest and denied in his letter that the priest had spoken against the Magisterium of the Church. The priest was pastor of this parish for almost 2 decades. Can you imagine the harm he did to the faithful? Undermining and mocking the teachings of Holy Mother Church? If he dared to preach like this publicly can you imagine what he taught in private?

[knarledknuckles]

This is the first time I hear someone explain what the recognition by the Holy See means. When I defended a document put out by former Cardinal Ratzinger to a priest who had openly preached against during his sermon at a Sunday Mass I reminded him of the importance of the recognitio. He smiled at that point and said Pope John Paul II was an old man and he didn't know what he was signing. Imagine, from a priest. This matter was communicated in writing to the bishop and the bishop defended him.

i cant even imagine how smart Arinze must b

[catholicpeter]

I have watched the videos of this Cardinal and hope that he continues to preach orthodoxy without fear. This is the kind of man needed as Pope, to hammer the heretics into submission.

[abbaspice1]

During the first four centuries of the Church, the universal custom in the Church was to receive the Sacred Species in the hand, and the faithful would approach the altar, bowed but standing. This was confirmed in the writings of St Ambrose (339-397 A.D.), St Augustine (354-430 A.D.), St Basil (330-379 A.D), St John Chrysostom (345-407 A.D.), and St John Damascene (675-750 A.D.), to mention but a few.

The tradition of receiving the Sacrament kneeling date from the time of Pope Gregory.

Our Bishop of Arlington, VA told us we could not even genuflect while in line to go up to communion.

Cardinal Arinze maybe a possible future Pope?
