Everything absolutely must be signed by "Kiko", the paten, the chalice, the cross, the lectern, and whatever else is used! Kiko's writings, while kept strictly secret from outsiders, are treated as if they were sacred texts inside the Way. In this they are not dissimilar to the Mormon Sect, which also treat their founder as a latter-day prophet and his writing as sacred text.<br /><br />I cannot think of any other Catholic leader in history who had such hubris that he felt that he had the right to arrogate to himself the authority to rewrite the Mass to accommodate his dissent from the faith of the Church. Nor can I think of any other movement in history whose followers were so slave-like in their mentality that they would have gone along with it without a whimper of protest.<br /><br />The Neocatechumenate's liturgies and Masses are liberally infused with his music. Kiko is a flamenco guitarist and writes all his music and hymns in this style. Which is fine if you are a flamenco buff, but if your taste is a little more catholic and runs to Palestrina for instance, it is more likely to wind you up than raise the heart and mind to God.<br /><br />Even there catechesis is clearly by rote, carrying out Kiko's or Carmen's instructions to the letter. This is given away by the fact that their apologists, who work in small teams, frequently turn to one another for prompting and will quietly interject if someone has forgotten something that was in the script.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-90169396735831890392014-01-09T13:54:49.691+10:002014-01-09T13:54:49.691+10:00I'm all for it....resign or find go to chinaI'm all for it....resign or find go to chinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-19772383921631476532014-01-09T13:36:03.240+10:002014-01-09T13:36:03.240+10:00It'll never happen, but if this were put to a ...It'll never happen, but if this were put to a vote among all active Catholics and clergy in this Archdiocese, I think it'd be easy to guess the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-16481844166947850872014-01-09T13:10:18.318+10:002014-01-09T13:10:18.318+10:00Speak for yourself and not for others pleaseSpeak for yourself and not for others pleaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-9984856467671599472014-01-09T13:04:26.140+10:002014-01-09T13:04:26.140+10:00Archbishop Apuron in humility please resign the Ar...Archbishop Apuron in humility please resign the Archdiocese of Agana Guam. you are no longer respected by the priests and people of Guam.

The communicant replies, Amen, and receives the Sacrament either on the tongue or, where this is allowed, in the hand, the choice lying with the communicant. As soon as the communicant receives the host, he or she consumes the whole of it.<br /><br />Taken from the national conference of Bishops article <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-54409758617393111232014-01-09T12:26:19.782+10:002014-01-09T12:26:19.782+10:00Lima, Peru, Jul 28, 2011 / 01:56 pm (CNA).- Spanis...Lima, Peru, Jul 28, 2011 / 01:56 pm (CNA).- Spanish Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera recently recommended that Catholics receive Communion on the tongue, while kneeling.<br /> <br />“It is to simply know that we are before God himself and that He came to us and that we are undeserving,” the prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments said in an interview with CNA during his visit to Lima, Peru.<br /> <br />The cardinal’s remarks came in response to a question on whether Catholics should receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue.<br /><br />He recommended that Catholics “receive Communion on the tongue and while kneeling.”<br /> <br />Receiving Communion in this way, the cardinal continued, “is the sign of adoration that needs to be recovered. I think the entire Church needs to receive Communion while kneeling.”<br /> <br />“In fact,” he added, “if one receives while standing, a genuflection or profound bow should be made, and this is not happening.”<br /> <br />“If we trivialize Communion, we trivialize everything, and we cannot lose a moment as important as that of receiving Communion, of recognizing the real presence of Christ there, of the God who is the love above all loves, as we sing in a hymn in Spanish.”<br /> <br />In response to a question about the liturgical abuses that often occur, Cardinal Canizares said they must be “corrected, especially through proper formation: formation for seminarians, for priests, for catechists, for all the Christian faithful.”<br /> <br />Such a formation should ensure that liturgical celebrations take place “in accord with the demands and dignity of the celebration, in accord with the norms of the Church, which is the only way we can authentically celebrate the Eucharist,” he added.<br /> <br />“Bishops have a unique responsibility” in the task of liturgical formation and the correction of abuses, the cardinal said, “and we must not fail to fulfill it, because everything we do to ensure that the Eucharist is celebrated properly will ensure proper participation in the Eucharist.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652940417109665141.post-65230864180416375212014-01-09T10:32:50.828+10:002014-01-09T10:32:50.828+10:00Priests serve a sacred meal.

And since the church is a family, it requires its members to share in the One Bread and One Cup. Despite our differences we become one family united around the commemoration of the Lord’s Last Supper.<br /><br />Couldn't resisted this comment posted by Father Leo on his blog Grace before meals. Thought it reflected what is being said all along especially the uniting under one body one cup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
