Board Meeting Mass Anyone?

If you feel tired or just too formal, why not sit it out for the Mass?

Here's from a newest member of the GULP:

(Kapanata Community 6th Local House Chapter and Community Mass...

Special thanks to ______________ and family for the beautiful accomodation and delicious lunch... — in Caloocan)


The priest is OFM.

Those in attendance are seminarians.

If this is how we train our seminarians, don't expect to get priests who are respectful of the Mass which Vatican II declared as the "source and summit of our Faith".

How to stop these men from doing this abuse?

If you catch them doing it, take a picture, send to TPC.

Second, don't support them financially until they celebrate the Mass reverently.

Pray for them too.

Sometimes, or most of the time, some clerics will think twice if they lose the support.

Stephen Colbert talks about Pope Francis

He comments how he doesn't like Pope Francis in the 6:18 mark.

He is a Catholic. And he is a comedian.

He also jokes about Lutherans. David Letterman is a Lutheran.

Read between the lines.

And Stephen Colbert even thought us the right way to do Liturgical Dancing.



Now do you get his point?

New Axe Deodorant Commercial

Presenting the latest Axe Deodorant Commercial, care of De La Salle State State University (because they follow the line of the republic on Reproductive Health).

Here we see the models raising their hands as if in an act of blessing, when there is already a priest blessing already the Lay Brother.

HINDI KAYO PARI PARA MAG-BLESS. WAG MAG-FEELING. PERIOD.

STILL the Neocatechumenical confusion of the REAL presence of Christ

Shared by Gerard:


From the website of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary, Perth Australia.  

"The Tabernacle shows the Sacramental presence of Jesus in the Scriptures (Silver Bible) and the Eucharistic Species (Body of Christ)."

Sacramental presence of Christ in Sacred Scriture???

The Catechism teaches us :

1088: To accomplish so great a work" - the dispensation or communication of his work of salvation - "Christ is always present in his Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the Sacrifice of the Mass not only in the person of his minister, 'the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross,' but especially in the Eucharistic species. By his power he is present in the sacraments so that when anybody baptizes, it is really Christ himself who baptizes. He is present in his word since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the Church. Lastly, he is present when the Church prays and sings, for he has promised 'where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them.

The presence of Christ here in Scriptures being read, is not the same as the Holy Eucharist reserved in the Tabernacle.  The Catechism teaches:

1376 The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation."

1377 The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist. Christ is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.

1378 Worship of the Eucharist. In the liturgy of the Mass we express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine by, among other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration of the Lord. "The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers to the sacrament of the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving the consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the solemn veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession."

1379 The tabernacle was first intended for the reservation of the Eucharist in a worthy place so that it could be brought to the sick and those absent outside of Mass. As faith in the real presence of Christ in his Eucharist deepened, the Church became conscious of the meaning of silent adoration of the Lord present under the Eucharistic species. It is for this reason that the tabernacle should be located in an especially worthy place in the church and should be constructed in such a way that it emphasizes and manifests the truth of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

1418: Because Christ himself is present in the sacrament of the altar, he is to be honored with the worship of adoration. "To visit the Blessed Sacrament is ... a proof of gratitude, an expression of love, and a duty of adoration toward Christ our Lord."

Now, I dare the Neocatechumenal Way to cite Church teaching about the Sacramental presence of Christ in Sacred Scripture.  Does Christ's presence subsist and persist in Sacred Scripture even after Holy Mass?  Is the Book the same as the Bread?

The Bible is NOT EQUAL to the BLESSED SACRAMENT.

NEVAH!!!

GULP Exam: CONCELEBRATION

Nobody was able to come up with the correct answer to last week's GULP Exam.

It is not about the tabernacle placement or the church structure, but the concelebrants.

In the image above, the Main Celebrant is a priest observing his Sacerdotal Ordination Anniversary.  Most, if not all, of his concelebrants are bishops.

What does the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments say about this?  Let me refer you to page B2 of CBCP Monitor dated May 10-23, 2010 Vol. 14, No. 10 wherein this same question is raised, and answered using Notitiae, the official organ of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, dated 2009.

Question: "Whether it is licit for a bishop to concelebrate on occasion of a priestly jubilee in which he takes a place among the priests ceding the role of principal celebrant to the priest celebrating his jubilee?"

Reply: Negative 

Why?

• This norm, which is rooted in theological principles and the wisdom of the Church Fathers, is that the bishop either presides over the Eucharistic celebration or refrains from celebrating.
• The Bishop has the fullness of the priesthood.

So there you have it.

YOU HAVE BEEN GULP-ED!
