I was watching AIT today being 13th of July 2025 as a mass was being aired by the station as usual from a Catholic church at the church of Assumption in Asokoro,Abuja. Surprisingly during the sharing of the holy communion I witnessed something I've not seen In my 34 years of being a catholic,a lay faithfully sharing communion to communicants on a non liturgical vestment.Please fellow Catholics is this allowed in some places 🤷❓

Yes very much allowed and it is been going on now for more than a decade.
Those people you noticed are referred to as extraordinary ministers.

Some people though still craftily avoid receiving from such people

I am very serious! I almost snapped the one in mass today but I don't know if it would be fine.

A lot has changed about the traditional mode of worship in the church but the core act of Apostolic worship are still very much preserved.

You can apply to be one if you are interested. I may in the nearest future.

This very bad,it's an aberration,consecrated host should only be handled by a consecrated hand,this is one of the reasons the Catholic Church is being destroyed from within.unfortunately those priests wouldn't listen due to pride and arrogance

Not really true please look at it from all angles. As a baptized and confirm Catholic you are also a priest so one can be consecrated to partake for some of the rituals in the church and mass.

This particular act doesn't quite sit well with me,a priest without a stole vestment during mass gets to kneel during consecration,because he ain't wearing the symbol of priesthood nor can he give give communion without that,only seminarians seem to be allowed to wear a sultan & surplice to give communion.

So how come this aberration,a woman that isn't even a catechist🤦
If that's allowed all this while why not allow us come to the altar and deep our fingers inside the chalice as well as ciborium.
Just doesn't make sense tbvh.
At the end of the day looks like these rules are just made for times sake honestly


I need a proper explanation honestly🤷

Have you read enough about the Vatican 2 council? The order of worship and rites where changed somehow. Even responses where changed.

It use to be "the Lord be with you and we respond and also with you but now we simply say and with your spirit"

Quite some tangible changes and it has been going on for quite a long time now.

Another thing is the church sent ministers to explain the changes and gave us room to ask questions which we all did and answers were provided.

The changes were beautiful and globally accepted.
Just take it easy and possibly go to any priest to give you proper explanation to every rite. It is very noble to ask questions and honesty with the Catholic Church where you cannot get proper answers the Spirit of God will provide in words that probably no one can explain to you.
