Holy Mass | Ask Fr Francis

It never was. During the covid lockdown, when the Pope allowed online mass, that was never to replace in person mass, nor to declare that online mass is mass.

Virtual mass, be it TV or online, is not mass. They are provided not to replace actual mass in person, but for those legitimately homebound to benefit from the liturgy and to provide a sense of spiritual communion with the Church.

In the celebration of mass, the corporal and the purificator are the two pieces of linen that make the most direct contact with the eucharistic species.
