Veronica Accuses the Novus Ordo Church

Better times. Veronica Cireneo published in September on Marco Tosatti’s famous blog a passionate defence of receiving Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue. She speaks about the tenderness of receiving Communion with clasped hands and remembers the times when the faithful could bring their troubles in front of the tabernacle when it was not difficult to see priests in their cassock kneeling in prayer, rosary beads in hand in Churh, always willing to hear confessions.

Religion, Not Politics. In those days, it was easy to obey the shepherds, Veronica recalls, “even when they commanded us to adopt attitudes and lifestyles that were contrary to the vicious customs and habits, we had confessed to them.” During Sunday Mass, the faithful became as stable as on a rock. Women were allowed to shed a few tears during Mass without embarrassment, since the veil, a sign of submission to the Holy Spirit, protected those tears from the indiscretions of others. Catechism, and not politics, took centre stage.

New Rules. For Veronica, it has become impossible to recognise herself in the Novus Ordo Eucharist where – quote - everything happens, except what has to do with the Will of God. The modern Church seems to be a ship adrift and even harmful for the Faith. She quotes Pius X, “When you will have modernised the Church, those who were inside will leave but those who were outside will not enter.” Now, as a "conditio sine qua non" for participation in the sacred rite, the clergy imposes sanitary practices on the liturgy instead of pious ones.

An Abomination. Veronica calls grasping Holy Communion with the hand an abomination because through it fragments of particles inevitably fall on the floor, are regularly trampled on by the faithful in the queue and carried from under their shoes who knows where. She quotes the German mystic Justine Klotz who died in 1984 and who received the following words of Christ: “If you don’t stop this abomination, I will allow the earth to produce no more fruit.” Or Mother Theresa of Calcutta, "Among the many evils present in the world, none makes me so sad, as to Holy Communion grasps with the hands".
