I presume she was referring to the fragmentation of the Host being dropped into the precious Blood.<br />Just two weeks ago I was at my other granddaughter's first Holy Communion and when the children had sipped from the chalice they all returned to their seats pulling grimaces at the quite awful taste, to them, of Holy Communion. Why are childern of 8 years of age forced to take from the chalice when it obviously is not good for their spiritual development and adverseely affects what should be a great day in their lives.In Despairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-66061295528899166352010-06-22T23:36:14.953+01:002010-06-22T23:36:14.953+01:00I like this bishop!I like this bishop!GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-67881068541936622102010-06-22T21:59:09.519+01:002010-06-22T21:59:09.519+01:00However he seemed a bit wet when it came to the op...However he seemed a bit wet when it came to the opposition of minarets being built purposely higher than church towers. Perhaps he may change his opinion, when he sees the real face of Islam in his new job.Aduliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534730218402742905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-46266800621157802042010-06-22T21:56:50.694+01:002010-06-22T21:56:50.694+01:00Finally a Catholic is appointed!Finally a Catholic is appointed!Aduliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534730218402742905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-28473296913120544872010-06-22T18:48:03.391+01:002010-06-22T18:48:03.391+01:00Clarity like this will do more for Christian unity...Clarity like this will do more for Christian unity than sentimental obfuscation.Independentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-49348289693427402672010-06-22T14:52:33.053+01:002010-06-22T14:52:33.053+01:00Amen to thatAmen to thatRJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871618901190898384noreply@blogger.com
