I emailed her twice last night and once again this morning ... so far, no word. Hopefully, the burly Irishmen are carrying her from one venue to the next today. As soon as I hear anything, I will post a new thread. Thanks for your concern.
Hey Lady! When you hear from her, and if you have time, could you relay this question from Catholic Answers?
An interesting question was posed to me today and I didn't know the answer but said I would post it for a response.
As hundreds of thousands of Catholics receive communion at the World Youth outdoor Masses how is it possible to confect the Eucharist for all of them?
Are some of the communion wafers consecrated and reserved beforehand?
or
Does all of the bread and the wine which is going to be consecrated actually need to be directly on the altar itself while the Pope prays the words of the Eucharistic Liturgy?
If he intends it can he confect the Eucharist in wafers being held in a chalice even a mile away?
This same person wanted to know is it possible to have containers with wine on the altar during the words of consecration which do not undergo transubstantiation and therefore do not change into the Precious Blood because the priest simply had too much wine which he didn't intend to confect? Rather than put the extra wine on a side table he simply sets it to a corner of the altar.
Anyone up to handling these questions- if they aren't too confusing- please do.
