[...] Z would say, some Trad nuptial Mass eye-candy (though ours is clearly better). The celebrant is the Society’s honorary chaplain. The venue is Founders Chapel at the University of San Diego, June 9, 2007. Photo credit to studio [...]

I have absolutely no problems with what was done. (BTW: I was not there but was send the story via a priest-friend.)

I was just trying to give a fuller picture of the discussion on the blog.

sacerdos15, Brilliant! Yet another good argument for having the patens!

Fr. Vervoorst,

Right, but as my dear Clara points out, what a marvelous teaching moment. Imagine a small child witnessing such a scene and then asking a parent what was happening. And the response along the lines of, Father was just doing what he had to do to protect Jesus. Can you imagine any more direct and serious (non-supernatural) way to show that Christ truly is present in the Blessed Sacrament?

At my first parish one of my assistants ran after a man who had not consumed the host.Another time a man received communion from a deacon and turned around and did not put the host in his mouth.The deacon called to him to consume the host.He ignored the deacon. Then the high school altar boy,a football player and weight lifter,took off afetr the man and banged him on the head with the paten.The man then consumed the host.The church militant.

Not NO but Traditional Rite.

As a small defence: the discussed centered on whether it was the right time rather than whether is was correct. I, for one, think he did the right thing.

I would be interested in the talk was happening at the pilgrimage re: Fr Gismondi.

Please check out the new blog, Traditional Anglopapist.

Great story! Good for Fr. Gismondi!! Oh that just warms my heart…being that I watched particles of the Eucharist drop to the floor off the priest’s fingers a couple weeks ago as he was blessing my daughter.
