Podcast: Catechism of The Council of Trent (in Less than a Year)
Episode: Day 76 Should Catholics receive the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine? Can a wicked priest validly consecrate the Eucharist?
Description: In this episode we read the Catechism regarding the reception of the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine. Why do many Catholics receive the Eucharist under only the species of Bread? Does the reception of the Eucharist under both species add anything? We also discuss the role of the Priest as an instrumental agent in the consecration of the Eucharist. In addition we read two relevant articles from the Summa Theologica. (ST IIIa. Q 80 a. 12 and Q. 82 a. 5)
