Phan,
This is a llink to a book you can buy to read about the Catholics in England at the time of Eliz 1.
I have to clarify that they may not have had chapels with the Blessed sacrament, altho I know they had hidden altars, wich swung out from the wall at mass time. Catholics in Russia did and still do.
In times of persecution, the Blessed sacrament is not always reserved . Priest like Bl Edmund Campion, a Jesuit, who risked his life entering England to minister to the Catholics there. He snuck around to say mass. He was finally caught and martyered.

This is sacriledge! Touching the body of Christ with an unconcecrated hand is Sacriledge, paying for a sacrament incurs ipso facto excomm I believe to both parties(I could be wrong on the punishment but there is one) and any Priest who would allow the body of Christ to be kept in a laymen's home open to abuse is guilty of sacrilidge again!

Keeping the Blessed sacrament in the home is NOT a sacriledge. In the late sixties when the Canon of the mass was changed, the traditional Catholics had no churches. Masses were said in homes, and the Blessed Sacrament was reserved in many home chapels of trusted devout Catholics. There are many home chapels still today, where masses are said for the small groups.

This practice has been going on since the beggining of the church. The Catholics in England during the reign of Elizabeth 1 had home chapels.
A good book for you to read is "The Hunted Priest" which tells about these times.

Here is a link on Amazon.com for this book.

This I did not know, I assumed the Priests brought it with them or consecrated and distributed it at the time. Thanks for the link I'll look it up sometime.

I would say that another option would be to advertise for a valid priest on Craig's list, then give him an honorarium (pay him) to Consecrate the Hosts for you. He doesn't have to say Mass to do it. Then keep The Lord in a Sacristy at your home and administer the Lord's Body to yourself.

:shocked:Huh? Wow! You could NEVER do this! Priests are custodians of the Blessed Sacrament. If you know a priest very well, he might allow you to reserve the Blessed Sacrament in your home in a tabernacle and in a chapel you provide, if there are no masses in your area.
The priest has to come back to your chapel every 3 months to " renew the species" It would be at that time that you would receive communion from HIM.
NO unconsecrated hands can touch the host!

No disrespect but in case one hasn't noticed.........we are running out of priests!

I would call that an emergency!

Yes we are, Darcy, but it doesnt change church rules. A cleric must be at least a deacon before he can distribute communion.
We have to pray for priests, that they perservere, and for an increase in priestly vocations.
The Catholics in Ireland had no priests for 100 years! They perservered by saying the rosary.

I understand Dimond, but I'm unclear what your take is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Holy_Family_Monastery

Little rat Dimond (Bobby and Frederick) should know better - they condemn CMRI, SSPX, SSPV...etc....yet it is ok to communicate at their churches?

Let them say to their faces before Mass - your a Heretic for denying "baptism of water only" for salvation - and then ask to be receive to Eucharist Communion.

Go figure!

It seems that most agree that the Eastern Rite priests are validly ordained.
It is not so unanimous regarding priests of the traditional groups.
