Elevation of the host
From what I have read, and from my experience of attending mass for over 7 decades, the host is supposed to be elevated after the consecration so that the congregation can look upon the consecrated host and offer adoration. But lately, it seems things have been changed. and the host is only partially elevated.
Catholic churches are constructed so that those in the back of the church , expecially if you are not too tall, have diffculty in seeing everything that happens at the altar. When the host is only semi-elevated, it is able to be adored only by the priest and those in the first few rows.
I don’t understand why they call it an elevation when it is no longer elevated.
I don’t understand why the host is not fully elevated so all can see it .
