07:22Il cardinale Müller: "l'Islam non rispetta i cristiani deboli"
Il cardinale Gerhard Ludwig Müller, nell'intervento alle Tavole di Assisi organizzate da Simone Pillon, affronta di petto il tema dell'Occidente logorato dal postumanesimo e dal nichilismo. E parla del rapporto con i musulmani: "Va rispettata la nostra identità".

The Cardinal knows it’s internal apostasy, and still persecutes the SSPX who hold on to the true faith and doctrines.
29:11En août 2014, à l’occasion du pèlerinage à Rome de la paroisse Saint-Martin-des-Gaules, M. l’abbé Michel de Sivry célébrait une Sainte Messe dans la chapelle de Saint Pie X, à la basilique Saint-Pierre. Il deviendra évêque de la FSSPX le 1er juillet 2026.
That describes all the SSPX priests whom I know.
Jesus appeared to His Mother first after the Resurrection
"St. Vincent Ferrer taught that the first appearance after the Resurrection was to the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Ambrose, St. Anselm, St. Albert the Great, and St. Ignatius of Loyola also supported this belief. They explained that Jesus first appeared not to convince doubters, but to comfort the one who suffered most with Him at Calvary."
@Victor t J. before there was Scripture, the Faith was handed down orally (Tradition).
Also,
John 21:25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.

This has often been mentioned/ preached by the SSPX priests where I go to Mass.
Early Christian Communion in the Hand
As a scholar of the early Church, I was surprised to learn that the practice of communion in the hand is such a hotly debated topic; it came to my attention during the early days of the pandemic, when many dioceses required communicants to receive in this way. Whatever one thinks about the practice today and its reemergence after Vatican II, it is important that our conversation be grounded in an accurate picture of the history of this practice. Receiving communion in the hand was the common practice of the Church in both East and West for the first 800 years of Christianity, and it was certainly considered reverent by the Fathers.
In North Africa (including Egypt) the practice is mentioned by Tertullian,[1] Cyprian,[2] Augustine,[3] Cyril of Alexandria,[4] and John Climacus.[5] In Jerusalem, we have the mystagogical catecheses of Cyril of Jerusalem (or perhaps of his successor, John).[6] In Syria (what we now call Turkey and surrounding regions) it …nd.edu

There is no point in further discussion with you because you do not seem to read what I have already addressed, nor the links I have provided, and you do not give references for what you claim as settled truth.
I pray that you will eventually see that Communion on the tongue is the only way to receive.

1)You are making a very serious accusation against Aquinas in saying that he made very bad mistakes! What authority do you have?
This saint is a Doctor of the Church and a Doctor of the Eucharist.
Tradition says that our Lord Jesus spoke to Aquinas from the Crucifix, saying that Aquinas had written well of Him, and asking what reward he wanted for it.
2)As for the claim that the Eucharist was received in the hand for the first 800 years, it is not true.
Read this for a succinct summary:
Did the Church Fathers Practice Communion in the Hand? (Not Exactly) Did the Church Fathers Practice Communion in the …
3) It is certainly NOT Catholic teaching that if the particles are not recognizable as the Host they are no longer the body of Christ. That’s just a Modernist’s excuse.
All particles of the Eucharist are truly the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is why the priests keep their thumbs and index fingers together after Consecration until the purification; and why a Communion plate is held under communicants’ chins.
Widespread Rise in Catholic Baptisms Across the Globe
Many dioceses across Europe, North America, and Asia have seen significant increases in Catholic baptisms and conversions this Easter. The strange thing is that anti-Catholic media including New York Times, Washington Post or CNN advertised this trend.
The most significant increase was reported in France, where 21,386 catechumens were baptized during the Easter Vigil. The total included more than 13,000 adults and over 8,000 adolescents, marking the highest figure ever recorded in the country.
Outside Europe, large numbers were also reported in parts of Asia. In Hong Kong, approximately 2,500 catechumens were baptized, while Singapore reported 1,089 catechumens entering the Church.
In North America, several major dioceses published substantial baptism figures. The Archdiocese of Toronto reported 1,584 catechumens, while Vancouver recorded around 650 catechumens.
In the United States, diocesan figures included approximately 900…

@chrisgriffin, like I’ve mentioned, “Take and eat” was addressed to the Apostles who became Bishops; not to lay people.
It wasn’t said to the disciples on the road to Emmaus either.
What is your response to the Summa of St.Thomas Aquinas? (where he wrote: ….out of reverence for this Sacrament, nothing touches It but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest’s hands for touching this Sacrament. Hence, it is not lawful for anyone else to touch It, except from necessity, for instance, if It were to fall upon the ground or else in some other case of urgency.” (S.T., III, Q. 82, Art. 13)

From Catholic Answers:
Dunk, Pour, or Sprinkle? How to Baptize New …
Let’s clear this up. In the Catholic Church, there are three forms of baptism that are considered valid: immersion, pouring, and sprinkling, the last of which is commonly referred to as baptism by aspersion. Among the three valid forms, aspersion is not permitted in the Church today, but it is considered valid. In legal terms, we would say baptism by aspersion is valid but not licit (permitted). Immersion and pouring are both valid and licit.

Sprinkling is no longer used/ accepted.
When pouring water over the head (in infusion), the water must touch the forehead for baptism to be valid.

In the picture above, is the water even touching the forehead?
(Appears to be flowing over the hair only).
If not, the baptism would be invalid.
