Talk:Eucharistic adoration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've added a link to St. Martin of Tours parish in Louisville, Kentucky (Archdiocese of Louisville) which offers online perpetual adoration. However, online adoration is somewhat doctrinally unsound. The Church has determined that individuals who watch televised Masses have not fufilled the precept to attend Mass, and has even extended this decision to individuals who watch a real-time Mass on closed-circuit television from a separate location (i.e., from the church hall) because of space constraints. (This does not apply, however, to individuals who watch large indoor or outdoor Masses on closed-circuit television, such as the massive Pontifical Masses at St. Peter's Square.) The Church's default position on sacraments is that one must be physically present in order for the sacrament to be valid, thus the validity of internet adoration of the sacrament is unlikely to be upheld by Church authority. I felt the idea was novel enough to warrant inclusion in the article, even if the validity is uncertain. Essjay 07:55, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
- I placed this under "external links," where I think it more properly belongs, and substantially extended and revised the article. Fishhead64 04:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed the fisheaters link, it is to a monograph website, inserted in violation of wikipedia guidelines by the website owner. Dominick (TALK) 17:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Nope this isn't hounding this is an article I was editing. The original RFC I made before you made that one is here. Dominick (TALK) 00:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Which you made after I was encouraged by a mediator and an admin to make one against you. Used2BAnonymous 00:18, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] History
Is there no earlier precedent for this practice than the case in Avignon? There was an emphasis on seeing the Sacrament without receiving it long before. The elevation of host and chalice during consecration developed from this idea that to set eyes on the body and blood was grace-giving in itself. So surely Adoration outside the Mass stemmed from an older medieval spirituality - even if only sanctioned by Rome fairly late? --ADMH 13:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
