Banquet and sacrifice

Dr. Healy speaks in a confusing manner about the relationship between sacrifice and meal, as if these are parallel or equal. Christ’s death on the Cross was first and foremost an atonement for the sin of mankind and an act of redemptive love, the fruits of which are applied to us through all seven sacraments for our salvation. As the Council of Trent teaches, the Mass is above all the re-presentation of this holy sacrifice on the Cross, by which perfect adoration, thanks, and praise are offered to the Most Holy Trinity and we are inserted into that God-pleasing worship. Those who are in a state of grace may then partake of the very flesh of the crucified and glorified Savior in Holy Communion. Sacrifice has definitive priority over the meal aspect, not only in grasping what the Mass is, but in grasping how we are drawn up into its reality. The traditional Latin Mass embodies and proclaims this correct understanding.

Nor does Dr. Healy acknowledge that an insistence on Communion under both kinds has led, in practice, to the ordinary use of “extraordinary” ministers of Holy Communion, frequently (but ineffectively) condemned by the Vatican. She also does not mention the scandal of Communion in the hand, which, though only an “option,” has become practically de rigueur at the Novus Ordo.9
