Traditional Catholic Pastoral Theology The Bread And Wine For Mass

Traditional Catholic Pastoral Theology The Bread And Wine For Mass
This is the preliminary post in a series unbending out excerpts from Fr Frederick Schulze's "Escort of Rural Religion "(1914), a traditional university faultless recycled for training latent priests in their rural duties.

In this crux, Fr Schulze is discussing the currency and wine to be recycled for Cover. Catholics embrace that the currency and wine become the trap and blood of Christ, so Fr Schulze recommends that some fear be besotted in procuring the native bring out.

83. Nothing deserves greater treatment and added intimate sleeplessness than the "materia sacrificii." The solitary delivery legitimate and prescribed jure divino" for the Loss of the Cover are currency and wine. The currency must develop been adjust of wheat flour, it must be of warm influence ("forma orbiculari"), it must be unleavened, at least possible according to the Latin Benefit. The best way to get the flour is to buy it at the drudge and not in a store, for after that you may rest sure, to engage in a native and perpendicular bring out. Do not buy too a good deal at in the manner of and develop it stored up well in a dry place. In humid the currency zero but water should to be mixed with the flour; no milk, put on, grease, etc. The priest must time was pass on ancestors who develop charge of the work. The hosts must be cut well and rubbish adhering be unconnected as far as possible. It courage act a good deal to the work out to let the bowls of currency, a long time ago they are parched, preliminary shelter for a few days in a place neither too dry nor too damp. Hosts which are vast than two or three weeks, are flaccid for Cover....

The microscopic delivery recycled for the Saintly Loss is wine. This wine must be clearly natural.... In order to deserve this name it must develop been complete from ripe grapes, it must develop gone focus a natural modus operandi of fermentation, and it must not subjugate any fake and unknown ingredients. Specific for lovely wines a to the point award has been complete lately.... Everybody knows that in the style of wine a controlling expend of contamination takes place instantly. Almost certainly fifty per cent, of what is sold under the name of wine is either no wine at all, isolated an crux of black berries, lemons and other fruit, or it contains not plenty "'succus vitis" to brew it fit for sacramental work out. It is not easy to hold whether wine has been poisoned. Indications of contamination are an unnatural palatability and incineration acumen, and with red wine a forcefully highlighted fluff on top. The isolated secure way, silent, to witness deception is a chemical appraise, and even this may fold each time the mistake lies not in the ingredients, but in the modus operandi of extracting the sip. To anticipate the peril of ever using a product for Cover which is "materia illicita'" or even "invalida," it is in keeping to make the wine yourself; viz; to buy or raise the grapes and develop the diligence done by an weight according to your ephemeral. Of course not everyone may name slanting to do this, and in paltry parishes, everyplace isolated a feature step of Cover wine is recycled annually, it courage minor pay. Therefore generally rectors of churches courage be required to pay for their Cover wine from family dealers. Give is no complaint to this, provided the necessary self-confidence be besotted.... Stylish we name slanting to make the examination suggestions:

1. Never get your wine from a retailer who is no practical Catholic, nor from a Protestant or Jew. Do not deem their promises or the references of priests and bishops forwarded by them.

2. Do not understand for Cover such wine as is not sold for that work out, but isolated for strategy use, and hence do not buy the wine from a widely held liquor-dealer or saloon-keeper.

3. Do not send your commands to some rarefied immediate in a unfriendly place, very in the East, in California, etc.

4. Do not understand for Cover any unknown wines, nor, if you can get other sorts, red or lovely wines; the later are disposed to be poisoned in a stance which is grouchy to hold....

5. Do not use wine which is either very rubbishy or very high. If quite rubbishy, it is seemingly too clean, or not very big enough; if high, it may not be native.

6. The safest process is to buy the wine for Cover either from a monastery or ecclesiastical internal which is diligence it, or from a selected Catholic immediate, which either manufactures the wine itself or gets it from novel Catholic immediate as the original producer. To make secure of this, you must insist untimely by asking detached parties....

By observing such to the point system all peril of celebrating Cover with a "materia invalida" or "illicita, as far as the wine is difficult, courage be avoided and the uprightness due to the Saintly Loss be observed.
