Quotquot is the funniest word in the Latin language, pronounced like “squatsquat” without the s’s, meaning “as many”. I read it every day if I go to Mass every day. It appears on p 784 in The New Roman Missal, Father Lasance edition. In other Missals it would be after consecration.
“Quotquot might be an indefinite relative pronoun,” said someone on textkit.com, “and because it is indefinite, it could be that the speaker [translator, priest?] feels that there is no guarantee that there exists any person who will receive the most sacred Body and Blood.” [other than the priest]
