Were I an EEM and John Kerry presented himself to me, I would deny him. What is the bishop going to do - excommunicate me?

No, but don't be surprised if you're asked to step down.

You simply are not empowered to make these decisions, as an EEM. If you could not follow this prescription, then you have no business being an EEM.

So, you are saying that an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (this is the proper term per: Redemptionis Sacramentum) is required to cooperate in profanation of the Sacred Species?

Sinky, the solution is obvious to all: dump the EEM's and force your parishioners to spend an extra 10 minutes at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

That way, only you, the Pastor, and the Associate Pastors will be responsible for the disposition of the Eucharist, for good or ill.
