I'm glad you brought up kirby, because as a fellow Catholic I have always wondered something. Kirby is an alien who has the ability to gain the "powers" of whatever he consumes. If the Pope is correct in his assertion that aliens could take Communion, my question is as follows: If Kirby was a baptized, believing Catholic who took communion, would the process of transubstantiation give Kirby the powers of Jesus Christ?

Hello Small Business Owner,

When we partake in the Eucharist, the priest says a silent prayer along the lines of “may the Body keep me safe and eternal.” And there is another point where everyone says, “I am not worthy to receive you but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” The point of Mass is to literally give thanks have gratitude and receive spiritual healing. It’s not like a video game buff or recipe where if someone does x then y happens. But for you, I’ll humor the question.

In this situation Kirby’s birth would have been forordained and his powers are a gift from God. Kirby would also need to be fit to receive communion by being in a state of grace and fasting at least one hour before Mass.

We can conclude that Kirby would have the same gifts Jesus gave to his apostles (power to heal, power to forgive sins, power to walk on water with Him etc) but would exclude powers they were not given that Jesus has. In conclusion: Kirby would become a priest. But like, in a speed run.

You don’t have to be Catholic to go to Eucharistic Adoration. You can come to it and be with Jesus face to face.
