"Why Can't Non Catholics Partake in the Eucharist?"


Part I.


Preliminary Note:

Part II of this projected two - part posting will be posted separately from what we're dealing with here.

And that posting will indeed be adapted directly from the actual article itself.

The one designated Insert T - 2 that can be found in Sister Nora's Charismatic Group's New Catholic Answer Bible and which has a lot to say, but!

It can not be expected to also cover the subject of what we've calling here the Archdiocese of San Antonio's Doctrine of the Holy Communion Wafer as a Psychiatric Placebo, inasmuch as Archbishop José H. Gómez does appear to allow the practice -- at least in Brackettille, Texas -- at St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic Parish.

Yet, we might be permitted to at least suggest that the two issues are in some sense related:

One is the actual title of this posting Why Can't Non - Catholics Partake in the Eucharist?

And then Two might be Why Does Archbishop Gómez Allow His Priests and Deacons to Give Certain Totally Unprepared Children Holy Communion as a Psychiatric Placebo?

This posting will concern itself strictly with the second issue:


"Why Does Archbishop Gómez Allow His Priests and Deacons to Give Certain Totally Unprepared Children Holy Communion as a Psychiatric Placebo?"


How it works!

Here locally children with normal parents make both their First Confession and First Communion; however, only after much study and practice of their Catholic religion by such dedicated teachers as we all know so well.

For example: the lucky 27 or so youngsters who did both at St. Mary Magdalen's within the last two weeks or so, albeit only after the necessary preparation, can be considered to be really lucky.

Why?

Because there's another kind of parent involved here these days.

And, moreover, because of that apparently terminal mixture of toxic wastes called spiritual and moral necrosis by author Penelope Johnson that appear to have infected a high percentage of the American Catholic clergy, this parent is forever guaranteed preferential treatment as a special case.

For the supposed spiritual benefit of the wretched parent, and of the children, Holy Communion is "temporarily" redefined in vague terms of a free - wheeling Pastoral Theology to the point that It amounts to no more than some sort of a Psychiatric Placebo.

An example locally would be any of those so - called White Magic demonic - spirit worshiping parents who really do act as though they themselves don't give the proverbial flying flip for their own children's spiritual welfare.

And this is how this particular issue works:

Here in Brackettville, Texas, any such White Magic demonic - spirit worshiping male parent (and it has to be a male!) with a proven track record for sociopathic behavior backed up with a lifetime criminal record to match is free to tell any St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic Parish priest or deacon or maybe even a dean or two, and most certainly a bishop, in so many words: Hey! *u**c you and the horse you rode in on! I'm bringing my kids to Holy Communion today at Saturday's Mass, and they'll still go study religion tomorrow with the nearest Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall. I don't really give a *u**c*k what you say!

This is particularly interesting to me right here and now, as I've come to notice how these same kids seem to quickly pick up the parent's attitude of *u* c*k you towards all and sundry, and go on, I guess, to think like : Wow! Dig me! I can do that too!

You see?

Unhappily. the kids thus imagine that what works so well for dear old dad when he threatens the servile and and all but groveling priests and deacons of Saint Mary Magdalene's will work for them, too, when they try it with Non- Catholic Christians (or for that matter anybody else with at least half a brain period and no discernible exterior practice of religion. :) ) in the local school district.

It doesn't.

Period...

And then what?

All of a sudden the parent just might really cross over the line, decide he's being "persecuted," and make ready to "defend himself" with a loaded gun.

But!

We know that could never happen here in Brackettville, now, don't we... :)
