Apparently, priscillianism is not quite what Michael leads people to believe it is. <br /><br />http://yimcatholic.blogspot.com/2011/08/want-to-fight-truthiness-come-to.htmlAnother Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-1809182685236755552011-08-20T14:43:56.221+01:002011-08-20T14:43:56.221+01:00Reminds me of the Graham Greene short story where ...Reminds me of the Graham Greene short story where a communicant managed to retain the Host, took it home and proceeded to analyse it, to look for changes! <br /><br />I can certainly see how the Pope would be advised to follow tradition.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-56708219265722042712011-08-20T13:52:21.550+01:002011-08-20T13:52:21.550+01:00I agree with Andrew as a matter of logic.
There ...I agree with Andrew as a matter of logic. <br /><br />There are other false inferences in the broadcast: heresies such as Manichaeanism and Gnosticism are horribly over-simplified, and there is the common error of assuming that the 'correct' way to receive communion is on the tongue because that is how the Pope gives communion. There is - perhaps - an argument to be had, but the Pope's practice should not be used as the main plank of the argument.<br /><br />Pope John Paul II was advised to give communion on the tongue for security and good religious reasons: there was evidence of some misguided souls attempting to keep hosts as souvenirs. Pope Benedict as Pope has followed the same practice. It would be interesting to know whether he did so as Cardinal Ratzinger, or whether his concern is simply pragmatic. It seems to be unwise and premature to draw doctrinal inferences from apparent practice when there has been - as far as I know - no official statement on the matter.Michael1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07151796462917567945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-66411006654068921332011-08-20T12:42:55.286+01:002011-08-20T12:42:55.286+01:00Andrew,

How you dress the excuse for the change is completely immaterial. Human beings have great imaginations and can make up the most sublime and beautiful reasons for everything they do. <br /><br />"Priscillianists may have stood to receive in the hand, from a particular doctrinal stance; but it doesn't follow that everyone who does so is a Priscillianist and follows their heretical beliefs."<br /><br />This statement is quite right, and the video does not state otherwise. It simply points out that in the early church a certain action followed as a consequence of error. The remedy was a return to devotional practices and a rejection of the error.Ma Tuckernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-4756204386001404532011-08-20T09:52:23.042+01:002011-08-20T09:52:23.042+01:00How very very interesting.

At best the video is in error; worse it may be deliberately disingenuous in presenting that aspect of the heresy as its totality.Andrew Leachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757362407627046261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-86957272925173948612011-08-20T01:02:49.366+01:002011-08-20T01:02:49.366+01:00Father, it appears that RCTV removed the original ...Father, it appears that RCTV removed the original video and re-uploaded it.
