Day 76 Why is it customary to receive the Eucharist only under the form of bread and not also under the form of wine? Can a wicked Priest validly consecrate the Eucharist?

Posted on June 24, 2023 by marklangley

In this episode we read the Catechism regarding the reception of the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine. Why do many Catholics receive the Eucharist under only the species of Bread? Does the reception of the Eucharist under both species add anything? We also discuss the role of the Priest as an instrumental agent in the consecration of the Eucharist. In addition we read two relevant articles from the Summa Theologica. (ST IIIa. Q 80 a. 12 and Q. 82 a. 5)
