I read yesterday that another Bishop has restricted the use of the chalice at Mass in his diocese because of a concern of "spillage" and "profanation of the Precious Blood". There are a number of people in his diocese who are up in arms about it. The usual complaints of rigidity come out, and some have stated the old (over-used) arguments that there were those in the early Church who served the chalice, so (of course!) we should do the same (as though the early Church never did something that was later realized to be "less than ideal").
Arguments for and against notwithstanding, we have to be pleased that this Bishop has seen a need to say "no" to a practice that is being abused. Would that every abuse (and there are many) caused Bishops to step in to protect the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament; but, alas, that is not the day and age in which we live. We can thank God about any sign of wisdom in regards to liturgical abuse; and this is indeed a true sign of wisdom.
The people may not like it, but neither likes nor dislikes (nor complaints, nor fussiness, nor hurt feelings) should be the grounds for liturgical decisions by Bishops. They should be making their decisions based on what is honoring to God, and respectful of the Sacraments (especially the Eucharist). So, I pray that God blesses that Bishop richly (I met him once -- he is a very godly man!). Let us also pray that this will help other Bishops to see the need to protect what has been given to us, and to see the necessity of reverence in the Mass.
