Schneider: Nothing Good Comes From Grabbing Communion

Grabbing communion - instead of receiving it - fosters sacrileges because consecrated particles fall on the floor and “Our Lord is trampled on,” Bishop Schneider explained during a recent interview in Slovenia (video below).

He criticises that almost all bishops worldwide have been forcing the faithful “under the pretext” of Covid rules to grab Communion, and mentions Tanzania, a strongly Catholic country on which the bishops imposed grabbing Communion while they "prohibited" receiving it.

Schneider calls this "one of the deepest wounds” in the Church because grabbing Communion has been contributing powerfully to a dramatic decline of the Faith in the Real Presence already in [more than] two generations.

Thus, Covid increased the desacralisation of Holy Communion. Schneider explains that God can never bless grabbing communion and from it “no good can come – not even for the health.”

In 2004 a lady in the pew in front of me was coughing into her hand. Then after shaking hands for the sign of peace I decided to only receive Holy Communion on the tongue. Now it is not possible but I hope that will go back to how it used to be after covid. I know you can use hand sanitizer however it does not feel reverent to me.

@celia ann Since you know what's coming, use your left hand for the sign of peace, or just wave. :)

Good point @Sp . . A "sign of peace" doesn't mean you have to touch anyone.

Technically, the host isn't grabbed, even in the Novus Ordo form of Mass. It is placed in the communicants' folded hands.

Het verschil tussen het grijpen van de Heilige Communie en het ontvangen van de Heilige communie op de Tong is het verschil tussen het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie geloof het Novus Orde geloof en het ware Universele Tridentijnse geloof van voor het Tweede Vaticaanse Concilie. Het zijn twee totaal verschillen de geloven geworden die niet meer in een en dezelfde kerk thuis horen.

1. Every Bible in the world in 3 Gospel passages says that Jesus “gave” the bread and said ‘take and eat”. No Bible in the world ever said “receive” or that Jesus put the bread on their tongues.
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Matt 26:26
And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body. Mark 14:22
And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. Luke 22:19
2. Jesus never said and no Bible in the world says that touching the bread with their hands was for the Apostles only or Bishops only.
3. The Eucharist was received in the hand for the first nine centuries of Christianity. Pope Benedict XVI confirms this in his book God Is Near Us. He reminds us that communion in the hand was the original form of receiving communion.
Communion in the hand is the practice of Communion specified by Jesus himself.

"Communion in the hand is the practice of Communion specified by Jesus himself."
Jesus did no such thing. Please quote Him where He tells the Apostles to take and eat with their hands.
" Every Bible in the world in 3 Gospel passages says that Jesus “gave” the bread and said ‘take and eat”. "
But those same passages do not describe how Christ gave it to His apostles or how. they took it. For example, "gave" the bread could mean giving it on the tongue while "take and eat" could mean taking it on the tongue, that is... the willing reception and consumption. Pic related.
