Whatever they're called this week, laymen who distribute the Eucharist will not refuse anyone our parish without the permission of the pastor.

It isn't "whatever they have been called this week," it is what they have always been called. Words mean specific things especially in the Catholic Church. I fear some of our Cardinals and Bishops have been lax in their education. I pray the Vatican will continue to restate what must be restated for clarification.

"Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion" is a new term. So is designating a deacon as an Ordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

If it takes a while for the terms to catch on, don't be surprised.
