What follows is a recent scene from a parish located in a major United States city. The video clip is an excerpt from a Sunday Mass published publicly that parish on social media. Faces have been blurred. The identity of no one in the clip is important here, rather the activity (or non-activity) of the communicant, and what precisely was done with the Blessed Sacrament here?

Symbolic Realities of Revolution vs. #UnitetheClans Real Presence. The Unite the Clans movement from the Remnant's Michael Matt is a good thing, but it won't win so long as it is focused on Vatican II. The Revolution afoot, those aligned with the devil in the Church, fight us with "symbolic…
Back in the 90s, I remember seeing images of then Archbishop Rembert Weakland donning a miter that bore an upside down triangle with a rainbow and a rainbow chasuble. During those years, it was common to hear rumors of Churches being "renovated" and the end result being white washed interiors…
I often forget that the things that were common knowledge in the 90s are forgotten or ignored today. It becomes apparent when discussing communion in the hand, as I did the other day in the neopaganism article, or as I have in other contexts over the past few years,…
In the wake of John Paul II's celebrity and the tide of hope Pope Benedict brought to many who long for plain chant, reverence, and clear succinct catechetical materials, there is a creature of machinery long forgotten. This beast of a machine used to present itself as the future of…

Some people may put the host into their pockets, for some reason, and take it home, and they are not allowed to do that. It’s a terrible thing to do. However, and fortunately for my own peace of mind, I don’t believe that it is a real consecrated Host anymore in the novus ordo. For that you need a validly ordained Priest, Bishop, and a real validly elected Pope.
And all three of them are not around within the churches these days. It will change in the future, because Mary has promised the triumph of her Immaculate Heart
I used to weep. I don’t believe this is Catholic mass, no transubstantiation occurs. Tragic that some believe transubstantiation occurs and don’t search deeper for WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???
Why wasn’t the priest more attentive? This is the problem with Communion on the hand, it’s done so robotically just to get the line moving.
How can he watch anyway? They are turned away from him by then. If they were lined up at an altar rail, at least they’d be in his field of sight.

The priest did say the words of consecration and there were no shenanigans as far as that goes.
