Italian Theologian on Bishop Laise and Communion on the Tongue
Monsignor Nicola Bux occupies a unique and prominent position among Catholics concerned about the present crisis in the Church. As a longtime friend of Pope Benedict XVI, he wrote a letter in 2012 to Bishop Bernard Fellay and members of the Society of St. Pius X, wishing to persuade them to accept an agreement proposed to them by the Pope. And five years later the SSPX itself stated that “Monsignor Nicola Bux unexpectedly echoed the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX)’s position on the widespread crisis of the faith within the Church.”
Although Msgr. Bux and the SSPX may not have yet reached an agreement on all doctrinal points relating to the present crisis, Msgr. Bux has recently provided leadership in an area where many Catholics concerned about the present crisis are of one mind, the irreverence brought about by Communion in the hand. To honor the late Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise a year after his death, a prelate whom Msgr. Bux describes as the author of the first book defending the traditional practice of Communion on the tongue, he wrote a detailed analysis of the role that Bishop Laise played in exposing the inappropriateness and illegality of the practice of Communion in the hand. We offer to our readers both English and Spanish translations of Msgr. Bux’s article:
