The reason that the Church withheld the Chalice is precisely to combat the heresy that the Eucharistic Bread was not sufficient to bring the blessings promised by God to the communicant.<br /><br />So, the Church withheld the Chalice in order to identify those heretics who claimed that Communion under both species was absolutely necessary.<br /><br />Remember that in :John 6:51 Jesus says:<br />I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and <b>the bread that I will give is my flesh,</b> which I will give for the life of the world.<br /><br />That flesh contains the Body and the Blood of the Lord. Nothing in Scripture denies or contradicts that Teaching of the Church.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />De Maria<br /><br />De Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997195004868253348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-66858714860221238002013-02-02T15:50:36.120-08:002013-02-02T15:50:36.120-08:00Cool post.

In a Catholic vs. Protestant debate on the Eucharist, Reformed Apologist Robert Zins asked the question:<br /><br />If Jesus said that unless people eat his flesh AND drink his blood they will have no life in them, and that Jesus meant this in the Catholic way, then why did the Church withhold the chalice from the faithful at various times throughout history?<br /><br />Wouldn't the AND imply that they need communion under both kinds?<br /><br />I was just curious how you might respond to that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
