When My Dad Was In The Army

[pat22]

the chaplain let his lap dog sit on the alter during mass, AND let the dog recieve communion

I'm pretty sure I don't need to check, but is this valid?

[T-Bone _]

I certainly hope you're joking.

And if you are, it's not funny in the least.

[pat22]

I'm being perfectly serious, it's true! the guy was a nut.

[Dave]

None of that would invalidate the Mass, but letting the dog receive Communion was sacrilegious.

Atleast we know the dog's going to heaven.

Was the lap dog human?

According to Aquinas animals don't have immortal souls

"Give not that which is holy to dogs." (Matt 7:6)

By the way, if the priest used the correct matter, used the correct form, and had the correct intention, the Mass itself would have been valid.

Also, the dog did receive the Body, and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the God-Man, but it did not receive a Sacrament.

did you hear about the kid in miami that just got arrested for cutting 19 cats?

[Resurrexi]

That's creepy.

We had some kids microwave a cat here. There were more protests outside the courtroom for that trial than for all the murders put together.

That's because everyone has wanted to kill someone at some point in time, but who the hell thinks of microwaving some poor animal. That' some messed up kid.
