Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.
It's shocking to think that some people don't kneel during the consecration, apart for the exceptions his Eminence describes. Isn't it something to do with not making gestures which suggest submission? I always thought the idea is that we are meant o submit to the will of our Lord.
'For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names: That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth'
I can't help it....he makes me giggle. He's going to give me a "turkey" if we can find a document from the Vatican that says to remove the altar rails? I lost it after that and can't stop laughing....
It's a little early for Thanksgiving, but I suppose I could deep freeze it if it doesn't get freezer burn...
I went to funeral in Liverpool where the priest tried to refuse communion on the tongue to my friends and I. We stood our ground and he eventually gave.
I think he did mean a "turkey", Karen, part of his humorous style. In a community that is relatively poor, a turkey would be a great prize but I think he knows that it sounds ridiculous in developed countries where you can buy them for a few pounds/dollars in the supermarket.

BTW, I did agree with what he said....it seemed reasonable. If you want to do "A" then do "A" but don't wail on people for doing "B" if they're within their rights. They were pretty common sense remarks.
Mr Kearney is currently "under attack" on this post from a Tablet reader who justifies Holy Communion standing and in the hand because an old lady might not be able to get up and then lose her dentures! What a scream!

Father,
What is your opinion of this one. I didn't like it, but I am fearing I may have got the wrong end of the stick...

God Bless His eminence- he is worth his weight in gold. If only we had such faith and humility and conviction from our own hierarchy.
