The earlier editions up to the 50s provide only for additional hosts consecrated in the same Mass, either directly on the corporal or in a pyx.

Indeed I have idly wondered why no reformer has proposed a <i>fermentum</i> reserved from a previous Mass (perhaps they have). But looking at the wording in <i>Certiores effecti</i> - "portio victimae a se oblatae", my supposition is that E sapelionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886268559214926797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-46365591045402266662019-09-23T17:40:04.451+01:002019-09-23T17:40:04.451+01:00A welcome reflection, Father.

Thus the ‘liturgists’ of the day promoted their abandonment.<br /><br />Holy Communion outside of Mass was GORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313101159848740722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-62835865897521905452019-09-23T16:35:24.997+01:002019-09-23T16:35:24.997+01:00Excellent and important observations.

They seem relevant to this discussion.<br /><br />1. Why is absolutely forbidden, why would it be even gravely wrong, if sacramentally con-celebrating priests received from the Tabernacle and not from the Altar?<br /><br />2.
