  • Please re-phrase your question.  It doesn't make sense.  The priest must consecrate a host at Mass or there is no Mass.  Any hand missal that shows the rubrics will also indicate exactly what the priest is doing and that he has a host.

    It seems you're asking something else, but I'm not sure what it is.

  • Are you asking about concelebration?  

    This doesn't ordinarily happen in the traditional Latin rite, although it is common in the NO.

    It is normal in the Eastern churches.  We would say that all the concelebrating join in consecrating the Sacrament.

    In a Latin Rite concelbration there is still one priest's host but all ovf the concelebrating priests participate in the consecration and each one communicates.

    He might be referring to one of those "indultery" "masses" to which I would reply that you don't know.
    Matthew 5:37

    But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

    If he consumes the host from the ciborium where he concelebrated mass then he consumed a host that he participated in consecrating.

    hosts for distribution




    He's not talking about the priest, poche. He's talking about the ones the priest is distributing.

    And the priest has one that is outside of the ciborium, separated from the rest of them. You can't consecrate a host again. Only once. The one he uses for his own communion is a non-consecrated host, separate from the rest of them. If he takes them out of the tabernacle to distribute, if there was a novus ordo mass there before, you really don't know if those came from the novus ordo or the Mass that he just said. All you have is the priest's word. That's it. That's why it's so dangerous!
    Matthew 5:37

  • I went to the indult a few times where you didn't know where the hosts came from. They were probably mostly Novus Ordo hosts because they took many of them from the tabernacle.

  • Pius XII said that the hosts used for communion should be the hosts consecrated at that mass.

    Obviously, that's not always being done. Pius XII said a lot of things that people just ignore now.

    I've heard this before from very reputable writers, but I've never seen the reference.  I haven't read everything Pope Pius XII wrote and have tried (albeit not thoroughly) to find this reference.  Can you point out where Pope Pius XII wrote this?  I'd like to see the full context of the instruction.

  • but that would mean each priest would have to count the number of communicants at each Mass?
