A quick non-referred answer about conferring the Holy Spirit ... He is conferred in Baptism as well as later Sacraments.
I have always questioned the fear of physical contamination through the communal Chalice, etc. ... as the contents of that Chalice are the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ. It seems like a simple act of FAITH to me. Great questions, though, Marmema.

Thanks for your reply. I have long wondered about this.
