I can’t imagine Pope Benedict would approve of that

[patriciagordon]

How many particles of the body of Jesus remains on the hands of those Catholics. God forgive us. Pray the Divine Mercy! Pray daily. Eternal Father we offer you the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ for the atonement of our sins and those of the whole world. The chalice is overflowing. Pray without ceasing.

Happened to me too. I was then admonished by the priest from the altar after mass. He didn't point me out in the crowd but it was clear who he was referencing. I was half a mind to confront him after mass but the spirit held me back and asked me to just pray for that priest.

The man probably attends the TLM. Good for him. Kneeling and receiving the Eucharist on the tongue is the only reverent way to accept it, In my humble opinion.

[kietosie]

My heart sank when I witnessed that live. Let us take this as an opportunity to understand the value of this precious gift we are blessed to receive. We must now call upon the intercession of Pope BENEDICT XVI to help safeguard the TRUTHS of the Liturgy and the Eucharist. We are all unworthy to receive the Body of Christ, however, with God's grace we should approach in total reverence in humble thanksgiving to receive the greatest gift we could ever receive.

Same thing happened go me at my wedding. I went on my knees to receive communion, and Fr just stood there looking at me.

[liamfoley]

There is at least one person in that clip who received on the tongue whilst standing so is it the kneeling thing that upset them? Communion in the hand is one of those things that has to stop.

[tomzack]

If memory serves, both Popes John Paul II & Benedict XVI refused to administer Holy Communion to those who tried to receive "in the hand'

I had moved to another city so I was in search for a Catholic Church. I visited one and it really didn’t put that fire in me for me to continue going. So I visited another and I loved it. It was a beautiful church I loved the priests everyone was to themselves but friendly BUT I wear my church veil and I was getting funny looks I felt uncomfortable there PLUS they have Eucharist minister’s distributing it and I didn’t feel comfortable receiving from them. Even if I have to wait an hour to receive from the priest I would and not to mention they place the Eucharist on the hand and standing 🤦‍♀️ SO I found a very humble church where I wear my veil every time like a lot of the woman that worship there plus the priest administers the Eucharist to us kneeling and on the tongue with a young man holding a gold plate underneath our mouth just in case it falls. I’m very old school and this is how it was when I was a little girl. I love my new church Mary Queen of Peace. God bless you all!

How is it possible? receiving communion in the mouth is the most appropriate because it is not deconsecrated, particles of the sacred body of Christ are not lost. Denying communion to a faithful who does everything right is scandalous. That priest has a lot to learn.

[thet]

Same thing happened me at midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. I went to a Eucharistic minister and he refused to give me Holy Communion on the tongue, saying to me 'take IT in the hand' I was so annoyed and upset afterwards. I felt I had no option.

[christophan]

I too wanted to receive Communion through the mouth, a priest told me "no", so I said to myself that the most important thing is to receive the body of Christ; after all, it does not matter whether it is through the mouth or in the hands ... it cannot be more important than Christ - peace be between us, not war

[Thedarkestacadamia]

Return to communion on the tongue! This is the body of christ not candy!

[cezart.]

This “priest” should be ashamed of himself…

[TeresaAvila]

From the US. Everyone call your Bishop and request kneelers in every Parish. 🙏

[poppyde]

Outrageous! I watched it live and was shocked he was denied the Lord!

[benedictchinweuba]

I saw that live and I felt horrible for that man. I wanted to scream at this priest! So, so wrong for that priest to deny the man communion like that.

That is not something the late Pope Benedict would have wanted!

[thenarrowgatewithantocrossey]

I know how that poor man feels its happened to me, God have Mecry, you will know them by there fruits says the Lord 🙏💙🛐

[tonytony]

Note that further up the line other priests were offering communion on the tongue,
there may be more to the story than what the video shows.

[amelia]

Notice that (on camera) he was the only one kneeling while receiving. I think it was the combo, because many others received on the tongue. This is how I take communion while going to NO masses, and it has happened to me too with some priests.
