It's out of respect for our Lord.<br /><br />No one even ever dies or even gets seriously sick from chalice bacteria--you guys just love to pretend that Catholicism is dangerous because you're inspired by Satan.<br /><br />I wish we could throw all Americans in the ocean and start over!

The last person receiving will almost certainly be taking pathogens, i.e., bacteria, viri, and fungi, as well as detectable amounts of DNA, from probably every person before. The use of a cloth, smearing detectable amounts of the Sacred Blood and saliva over the edge of the chalice, in no way counters this, although it might well mean that a quantity of the Sacred Blood is transferred to the servers fingers.<br /><br />This practise should be stopped apart from, perhaps, marriage ceremonies, and maybe the Last Rites.<br /><br />Administering the Host from washed and dried hands edge down onto the tongue, contrary to reports put out recently, is hygienic and could be safely done by clergy who have been taught to understand the procedure, even if there exists within the community, a hand or saliva transmitted contagion<br />Jacobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743062941733814176noreply@blogger.com
