The Angelus - May 1978
WHO IS THE REAL NUT? From Tahiti comes word of the latest aberration of the Novus Ordo there. Several newspaper articles, accompanied by photographs, tell of the latest fad in local Tahitian churches—that is, giving communion under the species of coconut and coconut milk!According to the articles those responsible soon plan to establish themselves in Noumea, New Caledonia, where they hope to introduce their strange custom. Msgr. Klein, the local ordinary, openly endorsed the sacrilege. Photographs show groups of church goers sitting in chairs or squatting on the floor passing around coconut shells filled with chunks of coconut. Without being flippant, it must be said that the REAL NUT was he who attempted to consecrate the coconuts!!!!
Hopefully, these few questions will put on on the track and remind us that through God’s gift to us of free will we are responsible for our salvation and for that of our children.
Let us be sure that we never lose sight of our obligations to God, and as George H. Hepworth profoundly States:
Let us always remember that it is the quality of our lives which shall count in the end. We must commit ourselves daily to the betterment of our family lives.
Our Lord has given us all the tools available for salvation.
—Sara B. Engels
