Answer 2

"FACT: Although Roman Catholics are permitted to eat the bread (body) of the Lord’s Supper, they not allowed to drink the juice (blood) of the Lord’s Supper. The laity (the people in the pews) are withheld the cup of the Lord and it is reserved for church leaders only. "

Answer 3

The idea that not all drank from the cup went out with Vatican II. It is common practice now for Roman Catholic Churches to have the main aisle for the reception of the Body and then the Blood is placed out of the way where parishoners can receive it on the way back to their seats by their choice.

Answer 4

the sharing of communion cup stopped not condemned by the pope. but the bodyof christ which the catholic called ostias or orchias are being shared to those who needs, as the part of church ceremony, nothing is wrong with that, that means cleansing of the physical and spiritual aspects. i knew a religion that once a year sharing of communion cups with wine to their believers, which i respect it. its their tradition. different religions have different traditions of sharing. theres part in the bible that christ did share the cup with wine to his apostles and diciples. but the practice has been stopped , generation to generation, like the bible, the old to new testament, the revised or revition of the bible. amen

Answer 5

That is a catholic practice and not how the Lord's table is practiced in Bible believing churches.

We eat of the bread and drink of the fruit of the vine.....

Answer 6

From what I read in the New Testament everyone that partook
of communion ate the bread and drank from the cup. Seems you answered your own question.

Answer 7

We must obey God and not men

Christs command:
# 1 Corinthians 11:25
In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Answer 8

When I was Catholic, we didnt drink the cup... as a Christian, we eat the bread and drink the cup.

Answer 9

This is just one of the hundreds of times the catholic church has set aside scripture. Since they claim the right to supersede scripture with tradition, why does it matter any more. They are more concerned with what PEOPLE THINK than what SCRIPTURE SAYS.

Answer 10

Fact: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" is one of the BIG 10.

When you say that Catholic Christians are "not allowed to drink" of the Cup... you are beairing false witness (i.e.lying)

Now you know.
