This man who has not been contented with his religion as Born Again told on his video that the Communion of the old religion is wrong, and that it has only been the Priest who drinks the Blood of Christ in the chalice.
He quoted 1 Corinthians 1:11:23-26, although its full context is from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34 which reads:
Tradition of the Institution
23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread,
24 and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.
28 A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup.
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.
30 That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying.
31 If we discerned ourselves, we would not be under judgment;
32 but since we are judged by [the] Lord, we are being disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that your meetings may not result in judgment. The other matters I shall set in order when I come.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (full context is from 1 Corinthians 11:23-34).
For everyone’s information, Catholics receive the fullness of Jesus Christ—His body, blood, soul, and divinity—even when consuming only the consecrated bread (the Host).
The Doctrine of Concomitance (occurrence or existence of two things together or in connection with one another)
✓ Concomitance: The Catholic teaching that Jesus is fully, entirely, and completely present under both the appearance of bread and the appearance of wine.
✓ Full Communion: Because Jesus cannot be divided, receiving just the Host means you receive 100% of Christ; you do not receive "less of Jesus" or miss out on His blood by not drinking from the cup.
Why the Faithful Usually Receive Only the Host
✓ Reverence and Safety: The church limits sharing a single large chalice among massive crowds to avoid the grave accidental risk of spilling the Precious Blood.
✓ Practical Reasons: Distributing wine to hundreds of people takes a long time, adds logistical difficulty, and raises hygiene or health concerns during large gatherings.
✓ The Priest's Role: The celebrating priest must consume both species to properly complete the complete sacrificial action and fulfill the rites of the Mass in persona Christi (acting in the person of Christ).
Is the Cup Ever Given to the Laity?
✓ Allowed, Not Required: The Catholic Church does permit laypeople to receive Communion from the chalice during specific liturgies or parish traditions (such as weddings or smaller Masses), but it is never mandatory or required for a complete communion.
