I'd like to say that it doesn't make a difference since there are native English speakers of every race, but then again think about if you were learning German from a black native speaker, would you not be thrown off, even just a little bit?

Yes, I forget the proper term, but Catholics make sacrifices and pray so that we may make satisfaction for the sins of others.

Just read the whole last half of James 2.

It doesn't take up the line any longer than a few more seconds. I've been Catholic less than a year. We have the high altar and side altars still at our historic church. They did install a versus populum altar and removed the altar rails after VII though...

Or it doesn't have to be Sunday; you could go to Mass tomorrow and try. :P I tend to be at church nearly every day of the week; I try to go to Mass every day I can (which right now is just Sunday), but I get out early from school because I don't have a 5th period so I drive to Adoration. For...

We don't have altar rails either. Sometimes they bring out kneelers for those who choose to kneel, but otherwise I'm just kneeling on the ground. I kneel to receive Holy Communion kneeling, not just when it's comfortable.

Neither have I. I would in theory :P

I genuflect on my left knee to kiss the episcopal ring of the pope, cardinals, the archbishop of my province, and the bishop of my diocese. I bow and kiss the ring of any other bishop.

The Church says nothing about bowing to the Blessed Sacrament, only genuflecting. Check out GIRM Chapter IV, #274. I genuflect on my right knee to the exposed Eucharist (before receiving Holy Communion or at Adoration), when passing the tabernacle, when entering and exiting the pew, when in the...

I also genuflect before I kneel.

It takes no special courage. The day I was received in the Church, confirmed, and received my First Holy Communion, I received kneeling and on the tongue. I have received Holy Communion under the species of bread kneeling and on the tongue at every Roman Rite Mass, anywhere, with any priest...

I received from the EMHC today, and he dropped the Host when trying to give me Holy Communion. He even had an altar server with a paten, like, you had 1 job! :P

Oh, non-Catholics are welcome to comment, just only Catholics may vote in the poll. " Canon 1: If anyone says that each and every one of the faithful of Christ ought be a precept of God or by necessity for salvation to receive both species of the most holy Sacrament: let him be anathema. Canon...

Please, make sure to vote in the poll so people can visually see. I also forgot to mention that I always go to the priest's line when able; I'm mostly against the use of EMHCs.

I don't receive from the chalice for several reasons. 1) If I'm at an EF Mass, only the priest receives from the chalice anyways so it's irrelevant. 2) It's only necessary to receive under one kind. When one receives Holy Communion under the appearance of bread, one receives the Holy Eucharist...

Again, check the article I attached. Simply put, those bishops were ignored because they were wrong.

Hopefully I'm not opening a can of worms, but how do you receive Holy Communion as a Catholic? What Church sui iuris do you belong to and what rite is your Eucharistic liturgy in? The poll lets you have two choices, so if you receive standing and on the tongue and from the chalice, mark both...

Interesting, I plan on studying current Ecclesiastical Latin.

If you're asking if my faith centers around Jesus Christ, you'd be correct. Using indulgences is just part of the bigger picture. Are you Catholic or what sect do you belong to, if I may ask?

I was raised as a Pentecostal and my family became non-denominational Evangelicals when I was a pre-teen. I started going to a Catholic high school my freshman year, which introduced me to liturgy and the liturgical churches. I mainly considered being an Episcopalian for a while and then briefly...
