What does Thomas Aquinas have to do with the price of tea in China? So he said it "should" be distributed by consecrated hands. So what? The Lord presents Himself as the paschal sacrifice and you'd reject Him because you can't receive Him from someone wearing the collar?
That's tragic.
That's your opinion. Remember, one must go to Mass on Sunday to fulfill the commandment to keep the Sabbath holy. One doesn't have to receive Communion. One should be in a proper state of grace. A Roman Catholic is actually only required to receive Communion once a year between Palm Sunday and Trinity Sunday. I actually receive Communion most Sundays, and often during the work week. The only day of the week that I don't regularly go to Mass is Saturday. I think it's tragic that you don't respect his advice.

That's not tragic - that's Catholic!
