I personally don't see how receiving communion in the hand is so terrible. I consider myself a very devout catholic, I bow before receiving him, genuflect before every tabernacle and even do the sign of the cross whenever I drive by a church.
Christ at the Last Supper, handed them the Eucharist, he didn't place tiny pieces on the tongue.
However, with that said, I would gladly kneel and receive the Eucharist on my tongue. If that is what the Holy Spirit wants, then that is what I will do.

Those are two separate issues which you are trying to cloud by comparison. If your belief in God is such that you must take communion by mouth while kneeling, then do so. Why worry about horror stories. Do what your spirit tells you is right.
Bottom line is that the Vatican has said that both methods are acceptable, unlike abortion.
To: Pyro7480
A major problem is that in most Parishes, Communion on the tongue is not offered, and more seriously, kneeling during Communion is hard in the "drive through" lines!

Christ at the Last Supper, handed them the Eucharist, he didn't place tiny pieces on the tongue. The Church was very small at that point. Later, abuses came up, and the Church, in her wisdom, stopped that practice. The potential for those abuses have not ended, so why was communion on the hand allowed?

He don't know me very well - do he?

However, all of the Apostles were ordained priests.

I agree with you. We are military, and our last army Chaplain was Polish (born & raised) what a very devout man he is. We are back in the states now, and dealing with liberal theology, again.

According to this report, Cardinal Mahony DENIED communicants the right to receive on the tongue, at a gay and lesbian pow-wow he presided over in Long Beach, Calif. back in 1997.
Excerpt:
At the Long Beach Mass, leavened bread was used instead of hosts, with Cardinal Mahony denying one young woman communion on the tongue. "No, this isn't done here," he told her.

What have I been telling you guys lately! One trusts the Vatican will listen to these voices from the East.
