  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you receive both the body and blood of Jesus, what do you do?

Do you make the Sign of the Cross in between receiving the Eucharist and the Blood of Christ, or just wait until you take the Blood of Christ (after the Eucharist)?
I cross myself after each, but I’ve been sitting in the back for the last few months and haven’t taken the blood…..too many people drinking from the Cup ahead of me.

I bow, say Amen. Proceed to the cup and do the same and cross myself as I’m departing after.
So, it's OK to not do the Sign twice if you're going to the cup? (I'll ask the Priest, sorry for making a thread in which the Priest could answer this)

No I’ve signed twice as well. There is no hard and fast rule. You can sign twice or just once.
