Bishop Launches Crusade For Communion in the Hand

Bishop Gabriel Bernardo Barba (53) of Gregorio de Laferrere, Argentina, used his Corpus Christi homily on June 17th, to advertise Communion in the hand, a controversial innovation that does not exist in his diocese. Barba categorically dismissed the fact, that Communion in the hand leads to profanation because of flying-around particles. Instead, he sees the profanation of the body of Christ in prostitution or poverty insinuating that the faithful do not care about those, because those "do not smell of incense."

Barba denigrates the normal reception of communion, "Communion in the hand seems to me a much more significant and mature gesture than to receive it in the mouth." For him, allowing communion in the hand is "a visible sign of healthy independence". Francisco La Cigüeña de la Torre calls this on his blog an "idiotic argument."

In those countries where Communion in the hand was introduced, profanations have significantly increased and veneration for the Eucharist significantly declined.

Its the deliberate agenda of the liberal fake cardinals planted by Freemasons; many who make up the Roman Curia yes for decades after Vatican II and still today with increased help of Theodore McCarrick who is still training freemason soldiers for homosexuality and other blasphemes of our Jesus Christ. Lord! Deliver us from all evil!

Notice here also...that Cardinal Joseph Bernardin was for condom use. I bring this up because he is the Cardinal who also rigged the 2/3 vote needed to pass holy Communion in the hand. ....It all starts how you treat the Lord the Giver of LIFE ...with reverence and sacredness......and we are truly trampling on our Lord with dirty feet today (as our Lady of Good Success stated man would) ...truly ... through the disobedience of no paten's being used (RS#93) and Communion in the hand. Cardinal Bernardin also had no respect for Life as you will read here to as how he rejected the sacredness of life.... quoted from page 212 of the book "Mother Angelica...The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and Network of Miracles) "In December the administrative committee of the conference released a thirty page policy document on AIDS without the consent of the full body of bishops. Drafted by Cardinal Bernardin and three other bishops, the statement noted the Church's sexual teaching and then, in deference to America's "pluralistic society," said condom education could be permitted as a means of preventing the dreaded disease. "Education efforts, if grounded in the broader moral vision outlined above, could include accurate information about prophylactic devices," the statement read. The document suggested a radical reversal of Church teaching and tacit approval of condom use. ..............He also said on page 206 and 207 ... quote: Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, one of the most influential and powerful bishops in the conference, spoke first, discussing the relationship between the Universal Church and the local Church. "We live in an open society where everyone prizes freedom to speak his or her mind." the cardinal said in his soothing way. "Many tend to question things, especially if those matters which are as important to them as religion is." He warned the Pope that Americans "almost instinctively react negatively when they are told that they must do something." Bernardin was merely the warm-up act for what was to come.

I bet Bishop Gabriel Bernardo Barba is for contraception or condoms or some anti LIFE grave sin.
The reason I say this is because in Holland where Communion in the Hand started in disobedience ...Holland was the first to approve of Contraception and every other anti-LIFE grave sin.

How you treat our Lord the Giver of Life is how you treat all life ......... “Further, the practice which must be considered traditional ensures, more effectively, that holy communion is distributed with the proper respect, decorum and dignity. It removes the danger of profanation of the sacred species, in which “in a unique way, Christ, God and man, is present whole and entire, substantially and continually.” Lastly, it ensures that diligent carefulness about the fragments of consecrated bread which the Church has always recommended: “What you have allowed to drop, think of it as though you had lost one of your own members” (St. Cyril of Jerusalem)."

The modernist buffoons who originally foisted the abomination of Communion in the hand on the faithful did not have a half century of evidence telling them such an innovation would be a disaster. That doesn't mitigate their culpability, however.

The modernist buffoons who originally foisted the abomination of Communion in the hand on the faithful did not have a half century of evidence telling them such an innovation would be a disaster. That doesn't mitigate their culpability, however.

What is Barba's excuse? Is it not unquestionably demonstrable that the Communion in the hand abomination not only invites profanation, but has had destructive effects on belief in the Real Presence? Can anyone seriously argue that it has not?

A charitable assessment of Barba would be that he is simply stupid. The alternative is that he is evil, and anti-Catholic (therefore anti-Christ) for advocating a practice that fifty years worth of evidence clearly shows is destructive to the faith and therefore to souls.
