We have one man at each end of the communion rail to guard against this happening. Czechoslovak film set in the 1670s. Hoc est enim corpus meum. This is my body. The clip made me think about why there are no children at the communion rail in this film. Inspired by the story of Irish girl, Ellen Organ, Pope Saint Pius X issued the 1910 Quam singulari, meaning "how singular", which lowered the age of Holy Communion for children from 12 to seven, the age of reason.
