It's a date on the calendar that can't be moved. Churches just need to adapt around this event. Also, the talk about communion reminded me that some Catholic churches still do common cup. Very happy that Catholic churches are out of service right now lol. That would spread this thing like nothing else. The one time I attended a Catholic service I made the mistake of taking common cup (didn't realize I could refuse). Got a bad sore throat and cold 2 days later. Maybe that tradition will die with this virus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to assume this means a less lethal mutation is highly likely and if anyone tells me anything different, they’re the new public enemy #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking specifically about common cup and how gross it is. Thought it was relevant given the pandemic. Maybe I shouldn't have gone there either. But let's not dive into religion in general. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that tradition will die with this virus. Like I said earlier, in bad flu seasons the cup can be suspended. It's also an option as far as the individual church goes. The parish where I had my first communion only has the cup for First Communions (children and adults) and when we switched to where we currently go to church, it was a few years before we had the cup. I've also been a minister of communion at church for 14 years, and I've yet to get sick and I used to "purified" the vessels (now the priest or deacon are supposed to do it.) But obviously, people should use their best judgment if they are taking the cup, but as this pandemic is concerned, we've seen that people won't do that. I could easily see churches switching it for the time being, or potentially a diocese/archdiocese making a decision for their region as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
