Question for the OT’s Catholics
Posted on 1/11/26 at 3:11 pm
Posted on 1/11/26 at 3:11 pm
I want to preface this by saying I was raised Catholic but haven’t been a practicing Catholic in over 20 years. I attended a service recently and during the Eucharist, the priest knocked the chalice to the ground, with the wine in it, and spilled it all over the ground. Then, during the Communion prayer, he changed the prayer from The Blood of Christ to the Chalice of Christ. He did not offer the “Chalice of Christ” to the congregation but he did pretend to drink from it at the conclusion of Communion.
I have never seen this happen so here’s my question: Did he do a plan B Communion, meaning priest are trained to change the prayer from Blood of Christ to the Chalice of Christ and he acted accordingly or did he panic and totally make up something on his own?

Was he super old? Probably a retired priest subbing in and is having issues with is memory and coordination. Probably shouldnt continue saying Mass

Actually, he was a younger priest

Priest supposed to wipe it up with “special rag” and wring it into his mouth. Catholic God says not to waste that blood.

It is still wine until he says the magic words and changes it to the blood of Christ. Sounds like he just called an audible.

Did the priest also make a pass at you

My diocese hasn’t offered the blood to the congregation since COVID.

All that sounds made up . But if true, email his bishop and let the bishop know.

If you were a believer wouldn't you believe it isn't alcohol and is blood?

Catholic Church guidelines like the (GIRM) General Instruction of the Roman Missal, provide no "plan B" for spilled consecrated wine (the Precious Blood). But it sounds to me like he spilled before the consecration and transubstantiation into The Blood.
If it had been True Blood, there would have to be numerous steps to rectify. First, immediately absorb as much of the spill as possible using purificators, which are special white linen cloths reserved for handling the Eucharist (multiple may be needed depending on the amount). Then, wash the affected area with clean water and a fresh cloth to remove any residue, ensuring the spill isn't left to dry. Pour all the used water directly into the sacrarium, a special sink in the sacristy that drains into the earth (not a regular drain or sewer), to dispose of it reverently. Finally, soak the soiled purificators and cloths in water to dissolve any remaining traces, pour that water into the sacrarium, and then launder them normally
The Mass remains valid. Your priest's word change and fake sip are not found in any official rules, so he probably improvised on the spot to keep the liturgy flowing during an unexpected accident.

As I said, I’m not a practicing Catholic so I don’t care about emailing his Bishop. I’m just curious if what he did after knocking over the chalice, by changing the prayer to the Chalice of Christ, is taught to priest in case something like this happens or did he make that up himself

Thank you for your response and answering my question
Correct.
This is what I figured because I have never heard Chalice of Christ in any prayer, especially as a substitute for Blood or Christ

Catholics invented Christmas, right?

He was probably distracted by that cute Alter Boy on the left.

Jesus started the Catholic Church in the Bible by telling Peter to start a church. Every other religion someone made up. You’re welcome.

Catholicism is the worst denomination of Christianity it isn’t fairly close.
