The Council of Trent anathematizes anyone who states that one must receive under the species of both bread and wine. Only the priest is obligated to do this. Jesus Christ, whole and entire, body, blood, soul and divinity, is present really, truly and substantially in either just the bread or the wine.

Can you elaborate on this a bit more? I'm guess I'm just trying to figure out why they changed things. I even heard a visiting priest once say in effect that Jesus is sad if you don't accept the consecrated wine.
