FYI. Communion in the Paw was never permitted by the Second Vatican Council.
So, yes: things are still changing since the Council.
“Pope Paul VI took a survey of the world’s bishops to ascertain their opinions on the subject. On May 28, 1969 the Congregation for Divine Worship issued Memoriale Domini, which concluded: “From the responses received, it is thus clear that by far the greater number of bishops feel that the present discipline [i.e., Holy Communion on the tongue] should not be changed at all, indeed that if it were changed, this would be offensive to the sensibility and spiritual appreciation of these bishops and of most of the faithful.” After he had considered the observation and the counsel of the bishops, the Supreme Pontiff judged that the long-received manner of ministering Holy Communion to the faithful should not be changed. The Apostolic See then strongly urged bishops, priests and the laity to zealously observe this law out of concern for the common good of the Church.”
I don’t think we became more Godlike when we started taking Communion in the hand. I do believe we changed our mindset from worshiping the Church to worshiping the Lord. With enlightenment comes wisdom to worship Christ and not the Church. The Church is a conduit to him, not a gatekeeper to him.
... and then he granted the indulge anyway. Very typical of Paul VI.
I agree, why would you think that I didn't???
