A.:Thequaintnotionthatit wasnecessaryforsalvationto receiveCommunionunderboth kindsseemstogobacktoa schoolmasterofPraguecalled PeterofDresden.Thenotion wastakenupbytheHussites andcausedalotoftroublein theChurchofGod.TheCouncilofConstancein1415,ina decreewhichwasapprovedby MartinV,rejectedthiserroneousteachingandordained thattheChaliceshouldnotbe giventothelaity,andthatall whoobstinatelydefendedthe practiceweretoberegardedas heretics.Thatdoesnotmean tosaythatthereisanything sinfulorhereticalaboutreceivingtheBlessedEucharistunder bothkinds,asisperfectlyclear fromthewayinwhichthe CouncilofBaslein1431triedto restorepeace.ThisCouncil grantedthechalicetosomeof theBohemiansundercertain conditions,thechiefofwhich wasthattherecipientsacknowledgedthatChristwaspresent wholeandentireundertheappearancesofeitherbreador wine.

TheCouncilofTrenttooka handinthematter.Theprin- cipalcanondealingwiththe matterreads:"Ifanyonesays thatbythepreceptofGod,or bythenecessityofsalvation,all andeachofthefaithfulof Christoughttoreceiveboth speciesofthemostholySa-

himbeanathema."Asregards thequestionofpermittingthe chalicetolayfolktheCouncil leftthemattertothePopeto decide.PiusIVin1564authorisedtheBishopsofAustria andBavariatopermittheuse ofthechaliceintheirdioceses, providedcertainconditions werefulfilled.Actuallythe peoplewereslowtoavailthemselvesoftheprivilege,andit wasultimatelywithdrawn.

Asregardsthedoctrinalques-tion.wemaysaybrieflythatit isimpossibletoprovefrom Scripturethatthelaity,oreven non-celebratingpriests,are boundtoreceivetheHolyEucharistunderbothkinds.Communionunderonekindhasbeen knownintheChurchfromthe beginning.TheUtraquisthere- ticsthoughttheyhadagoodscripturalargumentfromJohn 6,54whereweread:"Except youeatthefleshoftheSonof mananddrinkHisbloodyou shallnothavelifeinyou."The CouncilofTrentdisposedof thatargumentwithoutmuch ado.Inch.1.oftheXXIsession weread:Hewhosaid"Unless youeatthefleshoftheSonof MananddrinkHisblood,youshallnothavelifeinyou"also said"Hethateateththisbread

shallliveforever";andHewho said"Hethateatethmyflesh anddrinkethMyBloodhath everlastinglife"alsosaid"The breadthatIwillgiveismy fleshforthelifeoftheworld" andfinallyHewhosaid"He thateatethmyfleshanddrinkethmybloodabidethinme andIinhim"saidnevertheless "Hethateateththisbreadshall liveforever."

Whileweareonthesubject ofScriptureitmightbeworthwhiletomention1Cor.11,27: "Whosoevershalleatthisbread ordrinkthechaliceoftheLord unworthily,shallbeguiltyof theBodyandBloodofthe Lord."

Afewfactsfromthehistory oftheEucharistshowthedoctrineoftheChurchinaction. Intheearlydaysthefaithful wereaccustomedtotakethe HolyEucharisthOrnewiththem inawoodenreceptacleinorder thattheymightcommunicate themselvesprivatelyfromtime totime.Itwasthebreadalone thatwastaken.Asfarbackas thethirdcenturyCommunion wasgiventothesickunderone kindonly.The11thCouncilof ToledoA.D.675permitsthesick whocannotswallowtheSacred HosttoreceiveCommunion undertheformofwine. ChildrenalsoweregivengenerallyHolyCommunionunder thespeciesofwinealone.

Youseethedoctrinewhich underliesthischangingpractice. Christis entirepresentwholeand undertheappearancesbothofbreadandofwine.Consequently,whoeverreceives undereitherformreceivesthe sameChrist.Hencethereisno necessityforthefaithfultoreceiveunderbothkinds.

Ontheotherhandthereare manypracticaldifficultiesinvolvedingivingCommunion, especiallytolargenumbers, undertheformofwine.Itis hardlynecessarytoenumerate those.Soyoumightsaythatthe Churchhasexcellentreasonsof thepracticalorderforherpracticeofgivingcommuniontothe faithfulunderonekindonly.
