Anyone who is not, and is trying to "change" the Church to fit their own notions of how the Church should be, is not a Catholic in my opinion!

Kind of defeats the purpose of being Catholic, doesn't it?

I have long been an advocate of only receiving the Sacred Host.

As have I. If this is one of the directives, I expect to see it regularly ignored. I walk by the EEMs holding the cups all the time. So do many others.

Another thing I would advocate, that is being noticed where I go to church is after the singing of the recessional is done, kneel for a while and give prayers of thanksgiving. From some people you get wierd looks, but they generally will leave you be. The priests do notice, though.

Good morning!

Can you explain for me the tradition/belief/custom of receiving in one kind only? Even very high Anglicans receive in both kinds. It is optional at our new parish, the split seems to be just about 50/50 between those who take the cup and those who don't.
