Head of CDW calls on Catholics everwhere to kneel for Holy Communion [the beginning of the end of this blog!]

Friends!



Victory is in sight! The Holy Father's humble example of kneeling Communion has fallen on many deaf ears but not all ears are deaf! Cardinal Canizares hears and he-as head of the CDW- is in the position to do something!





This was just made known to us by "Surge Propera" blog. Cardinal Canizares, the head of the CDW, has recommended that all Catholics (period) receive Communion kneeling and on the tongue. (period)




The Cardinal said this in a July 27? interview with (ACI/EWTN Noticias)




"Yo creo que es necesario para toda la Iglesia que la comunión se haga de rodillas"




Which is roughly translated "I believe it is necessary for the entire Church to receive Communion kneeling"




The ACI interview follows in Spanish.....Somebody get me a translation!! (please).......

REDACCIÓN CENTRAL, 27 Jul. 11 / 12:04 am (ACI/EWTN Noticias)En entrevista concedida a ACI Prensa, el Prefecto de la Congregación para el Culto Divino y la Disciplina de los Sacramentos en el Vaticano, Cardenal Antonio Cañizares Llovera, señaló que es recomendable que los católicos comulguen en la boca y de rodillas.
Así lo indicó el Purpurado español que sirve en la Santa Sede como máximo responsable, después del Papa, de la liturgia y los sacramentos en la Iglesia Católica, al ser consultado sobre si es recomendable que los fieles comulguen o no en la mano.
La respuesta del Cardenal fue breve y sencilla: "es recomendable que los fieles comulguen en la boca y de rodillas".
Asimismo, al responder a la pregunta de ACI Prensa sobre la costumbre promovida por el Papa Benedicto XVI de hacer que los fieles que reciben la Eucaristía de él lo hagan en la boca y de rodillas, el Cardenal Cañizares dijo que eso se debe "al sentido que debe tener la comunión, que es de adoración, de reconocimiento de Dios".
"Es sencillamente saber que estamos delante de Dios mismo y que Él vino a nosotros y que nosotros no lo merecemos", afirmó.
El Purpurado dijo también que comulgar de esta forma "es la señal de adoración que es necesario recuperar. Yo creo que es necesario para toda la Iglesia que la comunión se haga de rodillas".
"De hecho –añadió– si se comulga de pie, hay que hacer genuflexión, o hacer una inclinación profunda, cosa que no se hace".
El Prefecto vaticano dijo además que "si trivializamos la comunión, trivializamos todo, y no podemos perder un momento tan importante como es comulgar, como es reconocer la presencia real de Cristo allí presente, del Dios que es amor de los amores como cantamos en una canción española".
Al ser consultado por ACI Prensa sobre los abusos litúrgicos en que incurren algunos actualmente, el Cardenal dijo que es necesario "corregirlos, sobre todo mediante una buena formación: formación de los seminaristas, formación de los sacerdotes, formación de los catequistas, formación de todos los fieles cristianos".
Esta formación, explicó, debe hacer que "se celebre bien, para que se celebre conforme a las exigencias y dignidad de la celebración, conforme a las normas de la Iglesia, que es la única manera que tenemos de celebrar auténticamente la Eucaristía".
Finalmente el Cardenal Cañizares dijo a ACI Prensa que en esta tarea de formación para celebrar bien la liturgia y corregir los abusos, "los obispos tenemos una responsabilidad muy particular, y no podemos dejarla de cumplir, porque todo lo que hagamos en que la Eucaristía se celebre bien será hacer que en la Eucaristía se participe bien".

"Te Deum" Blogger calls for Kneeling Catholic to come out of the anonymity closet

Maybe I deserve it! But my BFF over at Te Deum [whose blog name I wanted to use, but she had already owned it] wants her virtual friendship ring back! I commented on her Nuncio Sambi post and Te Deum responded.............

To "K.C." who submitted a comment:Given the gravity of Archbishop Sambi's illness, it was truly disappointing to see your comment which I promptly rejected. Being well familiar with your blog and your line of thought on things, I think it's time you man-up and come out from behind that pseudonym. You might think twice before you blog or comment when you can't hide behind anonymyity.[[you can say that again! I wouldn't blog or comment about anything!! Call me paranoid! my feelings won't be hurt.]]



As an aside, there is more to Catholicism than what you paint. 1 Corinthians 13:1* If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2* And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, * but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5* it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7* Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. 13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

btw, if someone is curious to know what I wrote--it's gone now off into cyber limbo-- but I think it contained basically the following....




1) Te Deum's utube video of the papal nuncio at a pro-life rally seemed to show him only reading the Holy Father's letter (not really speaking his own words).




2) It is hard to find any articles where the nuncio condemns abortion or homosexual marriage or stemcell research.




3) It is very easy to find pictures of the nuncio yukking it up with pro-choice politicians and giving at least one of them a very public hand Communion.




4) I will pray for the nuncio's soul....




[Is that about it, Diane?]



BTW everyone, please do pray for the Nuncio's soul, and that he will in the future refrain from giving scandal to those of us who like to see the Church's positions portrayed with clarity and less nuance, and apparent contradiction.




[[update! Since the Nuncio has passed away RIP, I'm not accepting any more comments. Sorry, Tancred! ]]

Bishop Mulvey Explains 1.2 million dollar sexual abuse settlement

>>>...Doing all in my power to protect our children and young persons from any type of abuse by church workers has always been a priority. As part of that responsibility, and following the recent settlement of the lawsuit aginst the Diocese of Corpus Christi regarding allegations of sexual abuse made against the late Monsignor Hugh Clarke, I felt the need to reach out and reassure you of my continuing commitment in this area.

The case against Monsignor Clarke was brought by three individuals who alleged sexual abuse more than 35 years ago and was settled by agreed mediation. Monsignor Clarke passed away in 2002. It was alleged thatthe Diocese knew, or should have known about Monsignor Clarke's alleged propensities and should not have allowed him to continue in ministry. Because of these allegations, and to try and bring closure and healing to the three plaintiffs, these claims were settled [[for $1.2 million.]] I ask that you join me in keeping these individuals and their families in your prayers....

Sincerely yours in Christ
Most Rev Wm Michael Mulvey STL DD
Bishop of Corpus Christi<<<<
