~PASTOR’S NOTES~
February 16, 2020
MARTYRS UPDATE: the contractor is ready to go to the town for needed permits, etc. However, in inspecting the
church more closely, the contractor has found serious termite damage that will also have to be addressed. This happened
despite the fact that we have an exterminator come monthly.
I came across the following article by Bradley Eli:
KAMPALA, Uganda (ChurchMilitant.com) - An archbishop in Uganda is safe-
guarding Christ's Real Presence from being dishonored by banning the reception
of Holy Communion in the hand.
In a decree issued on Saturday, Abp. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga of Kampala told
priests and laity that he's now making the practice illegal:
“Henceforth, it is forbidden to distribute or to receive Holy Communion in the
hands. Mother Church enjoins us to hold the Most Holy Eucharist in the highest
honor (Can. 898). Due to many reported instances of dishonoring the Eucharist
that have been associated with reception of the Eucharist in the hands, it is fitting
to return to the more reverent method of receiving the Eucharist on the tongue.”
The archbishop also established additional norms on who can distribute and re-
ceive the Blessed Sacrament and ordered that his directives be immediately put
into effect.
Lwanga becomes one of few bishops worldwide who have used their authority to
First Communion of the Apostles, 1506 ban the highly criticized practice. Bolivia's Bp. Krzysztof Białasik barred the
By Marco Palmezzano liturgical custom from his diocese of Oruro in 2015. The bishop, appointed by
Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, said distributing the Blessed Sacrament on the
tongue reduces the chance of someone receiving the Eucharist and then walking away without consuming the consecrat-
ed Host.
The late Bp. Juan Rodolfo Laise of the diocese of San Luis, Argentina wrote the book Communion in the Hand: Docu-
ments and History in 1997 when he banned the practice in his diocese. His successors have likewise upheld his ban.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider of Astana, Kazakhstan has also been an outspoken critic of Communion in the hand.
Speaking in 2015, Schneider said the practice causes a loss of faith in Christ's Real Presence.
"The exterior minimalistic gesture has a causal connection to the weakening or even loss of the faith in the Real Pres-
ence," explains the bishop.
Schneider also wrote a book highly critical of the practice called Dominus Est--It is the Lord. Cardinal Albert Malcolm
Ranjith, now archbishop of Colombo, Sri Lanka penned the book's preface while he was the former secretary for the
Congregation of Divine Worship (CDW). In his reflection, Ranjith called for a careful review and possible abandonment
of the practice.
I think it is now time to evaluate carefully the practice of Communion in the hand and, if necessary, to abandon what was
actually never called for in the Vatican II document Sacrosanctum Concilium nor by the Council Fathers but was, in fact,
"accepted" after it was introduced as an abuse in some countries.
In his decree on Saturday, Lwanga noted that universal Catholic Church law required that he be vigilant "to fend off
abuses in the liturgical life of the Church." He further reinforced that canon 915 of the Catholic Code of Canon Law
bars couples, who are living in sin, from receiving Holy Communion.
"Following the clear norms of Can. 915," wrote Lwanga, "it must be reaffirmed that those living in illicit marital cohabi-
tation and those who persist in grave and manifest sin, cannot be admitted to Holy Communion."
Among the various norms laid out in the bishop's decree, laypeople — who did not receive an official mandate from the
bishop to be an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist — were also forbidden from distributing Holy Communion.
Citing canon 929, the bishop further commanded that priests and deacons "celebrating and administering the Eucharist"
are "to wear sacred vestments" as prescribed by liturgical rubrics.
Lwanga finished by saying his decrees were meant to fight against ever-growing liturgical abuses.
"The above norms are meant to streamline the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, and curb the abuses that had begun
cropping up in the celebration of the Mass," wrote the bishop. "These norms are to be followed with immediate effect."
In Jesus and Mary,
