Jesus appeared to His Mother first after the Resurrection
@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.
Jesus appeared to His Mother first after the Resurrection
This has often been mentioned/ preached by the SSPX priests where I go to Mass.
Early Christian Communion in the Hand
@chrisgriffin
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:

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.

Also, what do you think of the particles of host dropping everywhere when Communion is received in the hand?

@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)

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.

Your response is as it should be. We have the examples of the Saints:
One day, St. John the Apostle went inside a public bathhouse, but quickly spotted Cerinthus, a public heretic, inside. St. John immediately ran out of the building, exclaiming to those with him, “Let us fly, lest even the bath-house fall down, because Cerinthus, the enemy of the truth, is within!” (Against Heresies, 3.3.4)
St. Polycarp met at Rome the heretic Marcion in the streets, who resenting that the holy bishop did not take that notice of him which he expected, said to him, "Do you not know me, Polycarp?" "Yes," answered the saint, "I know you to be the firstborn of Satan."

It’s true that only the devil hates Latin….and his followers, of course.

A heretic is no longer a Catholic, much less a priest.
The indelible mark on his soul is there, but there is no sanctifying grace in him.
Without a doubt, these heretics behave like members of a mafia who cover themselves up.
It's getting clearer every day now; for those with eyes to see.
