It reversed a widespread custom, codified in U.S. norms approved in 2002, that called for distribution of the consecrated wine into the chalices at the time of the breaking of the bread, just before Communion.

O.K. folks, here is the U.S. norms approved in 2002.

Would anyone show me where is the distribution of the consecrated wine into the chalices just before Communion "codified" in it?

Thank you in advance.

I don't see where it is. Actually, it says that chalices with wine are to be placed on the altar at the Offertory. That was not done, of course, and I suspect, there will be many places where it will STILL not be done.

How about this:

If extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are required by pastoral need, they should not approach the altar before the priest has received Communion

I don't know of ANY parish where this was done; EMs come up after the Our Father.

I know that will not be changed in our parish. Storming the altar after the priest receives is certainly not prayerful.
