Catholic Mass?

I recently discovered a Catholic in my TV channel. I have recently seen the "Daily Mass: Our Lady of the Angels." Seeing that led to some questions that I hope can answer. Before I start state but none of these questions as an attack or to be derogatory. Also Catholic haters please get your 2 points elsewhere. I also would not cut and paste large or links to a Catholic website. A question.
  1) It reads a selection from the Scriptures. Then a priest preached a sermon based on a different script. Is this normal?
  2) Are the readings from the Bible itself, in every church? It preached the same message (the message in this mass was about the abortion).
  3) During the Eucharist, the priest keeps covering the wine glass. It is simply to keep things out of him?
  4) From what I saw people in the church only ate no bread and drinking wine. Is this normal? If so why? The Bible is the bread and wine.
  more details …

  1. Pray for the Redskins says:

    1) In general, three readings. The first is the Old Testament, the second and the third of the gospels. Usually the sermon (we call it a homily) is related somehow to one of the readings. Sometimes, the priest who was to spring another topic.
      2) If the readings are the same in every Catholic church. My husband was recently on the other side of the planet and had the same reading we did in the states. The message is not the same. The priest comes with its own message and what homily blowing.
      BTW - the readings are in a rotation of three years. Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and all use the same readings as the Catholic Church.
      3) Yes
      4) the presence of Christ is complete in the body (bread) and blood (wine) so no one should have both. some do. I do not drink blood unless I am on the first pew. It also asks people not to take the blood, if you have a disease.
      BTW - Eucharistic minister has maintained that drinking the blood that remains in the cup
      5) the Latin is optional. is up to the priest. if it makes you feel better, most Catholics have no idea what is being said either.
      6) If you did see that correctly. I think that is what the body of Christ is also present in the blood.
      7) the box is called the tabernacle. and yes, we are inclined to the real presence of Jesus Christ.
      8) every priest is different like each person is different. all have their different styles of preaching.
      to the extent that the cups thing, we have been this way for a couple of thousand years. not really change things. 8-)

  2. Eva S says:

    Um the only one I know is the number 4. Yes, it is assumed that the body and blood of Christ, but some do not drink wine just because of the germs.

  3. Anonymou says:

    for wine, only the priest and lay people come to drink the wine … overing the Catholic Church to come out a bit around the congragation due to health concerns …

  4. Born'gain Catholic says:

    1-The priest or deacon who reads reaffirm a Homily.
      2-The readings are the same on any given day at any Mass. Cath worldwide. all scheduled and predetermined. The Bible is read in its entirety during the Mass in a full year.
      3-In honor of the blood of Christ, yes, and during the Consecration and Blessing
      4-If this is typical, usually only receive under the species of bread during the Mass, some churches always do both …. local bishop and tradition dictate that order.
      5-Some pieces are preserved in the Latin tradition … again.
      6-If you saw correctly. I do not know?
      7-Called a tent or tent-housing-this is where we host or the consecrated bread. Once established, it is now the Body and Blood of Jesus. So we continue here. And reverant to Him, not from your store. :)
      8-Priests are people with personalities too. Some are animated, some are boring … all are blessed and solemn at times.
      Thanks for the honest question!

  5. scotgirl says:

    1. Sometimes, the priest gives the homily in a non-issue if you feel it necessary to do so. Usually, the homily is linked to writing, but sometimes not.
      2. Yes - based on the lectionary readings for that day. Also be the same in many Protestant churches that use the lectionary, too.
      3. I think it is meant to cover the funeral shroud represents the Lord - but that serves to keep the content clean.
      4. It's just a personal choice - most people do not drink from the cup due to the most common germs (some people because of compromised immunity). Some people just do not like wine.
      5. It is usually the Mass in the vernacular these days - but it could be that only a couple of sentences in ordinary Latin - could have been a special day.
      6. Probably just dipping in.
      7. That is the tabernacle where the host is maintained, and their interpretation is correct - that bow, as it represents the body of the Lord. That is also why the knee upon entering a church people (although many people think it is toward the altar, the tabernacle, but is in the front that are supposed to do in any direction that is ).
      8. That's just a more modern style - some priests, such as walking and some still remain in one place. It is simply a personal style that any priest has.
      I hope this helps.

  6. Ali says:

    1. yes …. There are two readings, and a Gospel. His sermon is actually called homliy
      2.no. … are generally the same in every diocese, although
      3. yes, most likely.
      4. Yes, drinking wine is optional …. i only drink it if there are not many people before drinking …. I do it for hygiene
      5. Never been to a mass spoken Latin, but I suppose that some churches do
      6. I have never seen. You are not supposed to sauce pan with the wine embargo. You are supposed to eat the bread and then drink the wine.
      7. The cabinet is called the Tabernacle … Jesus that is revered, and not the bread represents Jesus, Jesus
      8.It only depends on the priest …. Some priests are very strong and there, while some priests are boring and say what you have to say … I personally like more energetic priests

  7. stpolyca says:

    I know what he's talking about his mass. It is about life on EWTN. (Eternal Word Television Network)
      I will answer your questions!
      1) Yes, reading the Bible is in every Mass the homily or sermon is always read and never requires every priest of the diocese.
      2) Yes, the Bible readings are the same in every Catholic Church. There is what is called a missal in which every priest, bishop, pope, etc read form telling them what to say and when.
      3) Yes, wine is sacred, is the true blood of Jesus Christ. There can be contaminated in any way.
      4) In general, the host (bread) is immersed in the wine beforehand. Reducing pollution.
      5) Sometimes, one can say the Mass in Latin. It is up to the priest. A lot of people like it because it is more reverent.
      6) Did you see the correct one. The body and blood of Christ as it was mixed on the cross.
      7) The cabinet is the one you saw Tabernacle. It has the remains of the body and blood of Christ that are not tampered with.
      8) LOL Most of the priests and religious are very lively EWTN. There is no such thing as a charismatic Catholicism!

  8. Zorcan from Antares says:

    One question: Centuries of parishioners blinded to what is said in the NT, especially short writings of Paul, who clearly unmask their sophistry, is common. There is no logic, common sense, not their rituals, except in demystifying the congregation with a "dead" language that Jesus never spoke, but now deemed "holy".
      Result: "The Bible is too complicated for ordinary people to understand." However, all the meaningless ritual that does not understand Catholic priest, or can explain to you.
      .

  9. Dennis T says:

    The best that can answer all your questions no.1 Scripture provides for the entire liturgical year. no.2 is the same in every Catholic church. mass. The cup is covered once the wine is transformed into concrete blood of Jesus is where our faith lies. no.4 priest is also the discretion to manage both spices special occasion least that is how I under stand it.

  10. Robert S says:

    1) What is called the Liturgy of the Word, the talk is a homily.
      The priest or a deacon present at each Mass.
      2) Yes, the reading has been compiled in the Lectionary.
      Moves each year through one of the synoptic gospels.
      Specific message, based on readings, it is up to the preacher.
      3) Yes, that is only to protect the wine from fruit flies.
      4) The wine was reduced during the Black Plague - (but today,
      receipt of both species were encouraged again.
      The symbolism of "a cup" is considered important.
      Of course, the wider use of churches to speed things up.
      5) Initially, there is a Greek response, the Kyrie.
      But Latin is allowed for all the standard answers.
      In this way, people can respond regardless of their language.
      6) Yes, that means the unity of Christ's body, -)
      action was based on the Jewish Passover Seder.
      7) What is called the Tabernacle, which means' shop '.
      Yes, reverencing the presence of Christ.
      8) The priest of the animation is only a matter of personality.

  11. StarrLov says:

    1) Yes, it is typical. In general, if the priest preaches a sermon based on a different script, the mass has been read has something in common with that preaching which is not uncommon to hear two different scripts during a mass.
      2) There are different in most churches.
      3) Yes, it's just to keep things out of it. I asked my mom and she thought it was the most logical explination
      4) Drinking wine is optional. Perhaps those who chose not to drink did so for personal reasons, or just do not like wine. The Bible is the bread and wine, but in the church "host" (bread) is supposed to be the body of Christ, and wine is his blood. It is a way to unite with God.

  12. tebone03 says:

    1.They or 3 selections of Scripture. 1 from the Old Testament, a Psalm is sung, and then a reading of the Epistles and then the reading of the Gospels. The priests homily on the Gospel is read.
      2 Not all the priests homily is different. But the same Bible verses are recieted around the world.
      3.Yes
      4. Some drink wine some not. You receive the Eucharist complete if you just take the host or wine, or both.
      5.Sometimes Mass is in Latin. One would be able to follow along a missal
      6. As the priest places a piece of the Sacred Host into the chalice, which reads, "May this mixture Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life for us who receive it." This gesture is then the unit Sacrament of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus is truly and fully present in the Precious Blood in the Chalice and the Sacred Host on the paten.
      7.That the tabernacle or the Custody
      The tabernacle in a Catholic church serves a similar function as the tabernacle of the Old Testament. It is a place where God resides in a special way. The tabernacle in a Catholic Church celebrates the Eucharist, the bread was changed into the Body of Christ.
      Custody (or "Ostensorium" or "Ostensory)
      A vessel of gold or silver, often in a form Sunburst, with a clear area of glass is called "Luna" to see the sacrament. The host remains at the site of the crystal or glass by a crescent-shaped gold or silver gilt clip called "steady". Custody and Blessings be used during processions, etc, to the adoration of the faithful. Does not require a blessing, but it should be blessed.
    A bow of respect because Jesus is present in the tabernacle
      8.Yes my father is moving to ensure that everyone is attention.

  13. Daver says:

    1) It is entirely up to the priest what the topic of his homily will be. Most times, the priests are related to the reading of Scripture, and tell the congregation how to apply these biblical teachings to everyday life.
      Some priests are speaking about a subject that has little to do with the readings of the day. Whether the style of preaching is fine, as long as the priest teaches nothing is heresy.
      2) readings of the Bible are "standardized." The liturgy, Scripture readings are made so that the cycle through the entire Bible every three years. Whenever Scripture readings are read on a given day are the same parish to parish.
      3) Yes, it is to protect the wine. Communion wine, especially when it is consecrated, it is not the sort of thing we want to achieve in foreign substances.
      <<4) The grace received from both the Governing Body or the Blood of Christ is exacly the same as receiving both. This is not how you're getting anything "extra" in terms of grace, with both buy Body and Blood, compared with an o.
      Typically, larger congregations, not to offer Communion wine, due to the possibility of spreading disease to have a large number of people, many elderly, sip from a common chalice.
      Smaller parishes where they often find is the Body and Blood given to the congregation.
      5) Some parishes use the Latin language. Some do not. What used to be all Catholic parishes around the world said that the Mass in Latin. After Vatican II, Masses were conducted in the vernacular or local. Recently, the Vatican began to allow the use of Latin during Mass again each time there is a great demand for it. Parish from which the Mass was broadcast daily is obviously one of the parishes that favor the Latin Mass
      <<The purpose of this is to show that Jesus is "Body and Blood, there is a unity between the two. Even when there are temporarily speaking, one before the other, the mixture of bread and wine / Body and Blood of example of the unity of the Body and Blood, which is a divine entity (Jesus).
      7) After the Communion, the Body and Blood of Jesus is placed in a tabernacle. Arc because, of course, are in the real presence of Jesus. Not that we are not in the presence of Jesus in another way. It's just that when in the presence of the consecrated bread and wine, Jesus is' substantially 'present. Who does not want to submit to Jesus when He substantially today?
      Consecrated bread and wine is not just "representing" the Body and Blood of Jesus - the Body and Blood of Jesus.
      <<8) This is the priest of this style of preaching. Some are made of "rigid", while others are very animated. It's just a matter of personal style is everything.

    A missal, which gives the order of service is used each missal across the world and has the same order and scripts to be used for a particular service. Sometimes in the pews will missals for visitors who are unfamiliar with the dough.
      I suggest reading and the mass at the following websites because it is difficult for a lay person to answer each question.
      The cabinet is called the golden tabernacle and the host remain there. Every priest has a different style of preaching, however, abortion comes from the sermon was perhaps a little more animated than usual
