What are the theological implications of distributing Communion under one kind only?
score:2
Accepted answer
The thinking behind it was developed by Thomas Aquinas who taught what is called, “Concomitance.” Essentially, it means that “nothing is lost by the body being received by the people without the blood.”
Serving communion in only one form (i.e. the bread/body) is also practiced in Lutheran & Episcopal churches in relationship to those struggling with alcoholism, fear of virus transmission, etc.
