This seems dodgy to me, as I think it perfectly orthodox to understand receiving Holy Communion with faith as being unto forgiveness of sin."<br /><br />Rather, I believe that it was done to avoid giving the the impression that the different species have different applications. Due to the 1662 version, there evidently were people who were convinced that receiving the Host effected bodily salvation or health only ("that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his Body") while receiving the Precious Blood was for spiritual benefit and the salvation of our souls ("and our souls washed through his most Precious Blood).

A...We used to call it "the Zoom Prayer."<br /><br />As in:<br /><br />Priest - We do not pre-<br />People - Zoom to come to this thy table . . .<br /><br />I don't have a problem with the theology of the prayer per se - and not to long ago used it as the structure for a Sunday sermon. But where the BCP situates it is simply bizarre and suggests a really muddled understanding of penitence and grace.Malcolm+https://www.blogger.com/profile/08469936715413110334noreply@blogger.com
