Catholics who say Holy Communion should be received on the tongue have ‘much stronger belief in the Real Presence,’ as do those who appreciate the Latin Mass, a new study found. “Church leaders may be able to promote Real Presence belief by encouraging embodied liturgical practices that convey reverence for the Eucharist,” the paper finds. “Obviously, between the Tridentine Mass and the Vatican II Mass, the Mass of Paul VI, I’m not sure where that’s going to go. “There was a trend toward stronger Real Presence belief when people were more positive about the TLM,” it added (M = 3.74 vs. 2.44). “Catholics who attend a parish that offers Mass in Latin (versus those who do not) report moderately stronger belief in the Real Presence,” she stated.
