[Pyro7480]

And when the president has given thanks, and all the people have expressed their assent, those who are called by us deacons give to each of those present to partake of the bread and wine mixed with water over which the thanksgiving was pronounced, and to those who are absent they carry away a portion.

The deacons have been permitted to distribute communion for ages.

*So, no kneeling. Standing for Communion. Communion in the hand. Communion brought home to be consumed after a Fast ended.

That means the Eastern Orthodox, Latin Catholicism, and Eastern Catholicism are all in violation of that canon.

[Kolokotronis]

"That means the Eastern Orthodox, Latin Catholicism, and Eastern Catholicism are all in violation of that canon."

The Orthodox always receive communion standing, P. The canon deals with kneeling on Sunday, not communion in the hands or taking it home which was a widespread practice in the early Church. That practice stopped, as I understand it, for two reasons. First, the Eucharist was seen as a communal, not private, matter because we are saved within the Eucharistic Community which is the Church and second because of "abuses".
