Mega Mass Meme
Last weekend we had the “Mega Mass” here in San Diego, where the Bishop celebrated the Eucharistic liturgy with approximately 600 Young Adults. Since I now only occasionally go to a Roman Rite Mass, I did find it a little strange. Among the things which now seem a little alien to me, in particular, is receiving the Eucharist from someone other than a priest.
Although I didn’t receive Communion from a priest, I received from the next best thing, the SWAT commando of Catholics, my friend Artzell. Art has a way of bringing out the uber-Catholic in me. The first time we met, we ended up having a huge argument as to which of us had the more powerful patron Saint and which of us most desired martyrdom 🙂
So anyway, to mark the occasion, I created a meme parodying the Dos Equis adverts:

I think he’s more of a Catholic SWAT commando ninja gentleman marine.
Me again. 🙂 What is the history of lay people giving the Eucharist? Does it ever happen in the Eastern rite Catholic church (I’ve never heard of it in Orthodoxy)?
It never happens in Eastern Orthodoxy nor in Eastern Rite Catholic parishes that I’ve visited. As far as I know lay ministers giving communion is an extremely recent development in the West, appearing only after Vatican II.
I concur, the next best thing to a priest is to receive it from a Catholic militant! <3 you bro!
