text: First of all, GramercyLA did not state that a "pew neighbor's hand is the equivalent of our Lord's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity." And while I'm not, personally, in favor of hand-holding during Mass, he/she was correct in stating that Jesus is not only present in the Eucharist but also in the assembly.
  
  The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy states that Christ is made manifest in four ways in the Mass: in the Eucharist, in the person of the priest, in the Word of God and in the Christian assembly. These four manifestations are beautifully integrated and complimentary.
  
  And before you go into your usual spiel about how the Vatican II documents are modernist and it wasn't a legitimate council, yada, yada, I'll try to save you the trouble. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just posting for the benefit of those living in the current century who might stumble on to this thread and be interested in a bit of accurate Church teaching.
