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.

Agreed. It is the Blood of Christ, but it is the APPEARANCE of wine. In otherwords, if you have to gulp too much (as a Lay Extraordinary Minister) you might (at least I did) get a tiny, tiny "buzz".ZooMom said:
I was a Lay Extraordinary Minister and the priest couldn't take any large amount because of the medicine he was on. Then when whoever pours the wine to be consecrated at Mass didn't "guess" right...

If you want to get even more technical, or picky, and not to confuse our non-Catholic brothers and sisters, "consecrated wine" and "consecrated host" is also appropriate.

In the early Church, Catholics received Communion under both species. Since Vatican II, this practice has been restored.WelshJesusFreak said:
I'm not sure when the receiving of the Precious Blood was stopped, but it was before 1570 and done for two reasons. First, there is a possibility of spillage, and while a dropped Host can easily be picked up, spilling a chalice cannot be cleaned up so easily and Jesus will be left on the floor. Second, some people believed that the bread only became Christ's Body and the wine only became His Blood. However, Christ is fully present under either species, and receiving both does not result in receiving "more Jesus". To stop this belief, the Church restricted Communion to the Host only. Even today, at the traditional Mass, only the Host is distributed (kneeling, on the tongue, at the altar rail, but that's another issue.)
In the recent document Redemptionis Sacramentum, the Vatican has again urged restraint on distributing the Blood, partially because of spillage and partially because it requires many more lay people to distribute Communion. It's not prohibited, but one receives Jesus fully whether he receives under one species or both. Only the priest must receive both, to complete the sacrifice.

Eastern Catholics receive the Body and Blood of Christ under the forms of both bread and wine at every Divine Liturgy (Mass). They are both in one chalice. Communicants receive them from the priest on a spoon.
