Sr. Manners is Wrong!

I'm afraid I have to seriously disagree wtih Sr. Manners re how one receives Holy Communion. A traditional Catholic would NEVER receive Holy Communion from a eucharistic minister. I never do, and will change lanes (when I attend the Novus Ordo church, which is rare), but I do so discretely. Also, I NEVER receive on the hand.
Eucharistic ministers were only meant to be used if priests were scarce. Nowadays, it's trendy to have more eucharistic ministers than priests and for the priest to sit back and let them get on with it.
No Catholic should EVER receive Our Lord on the hand. This is another rule that did not come from the Pope, but from trendy bishops who no longer believe in Our Lord's sacred presence in Holy Communion.

valerie, receiving Holy Communion on the tongue also doesnt have any scriptural reference. it was developed as part of tradition. Jesus told the apostles at table to "take and eat"....so this could also be understood as receiving in reverence on the hand! it isnt sacrilegous!
