The author was incorrect when he stated that communion by
intinction is not allowed. Cf. Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, Sacramentum Communione: Instruction Extending Communion undeer both kinds (June 29, 1970) No.6
(DOL 270, no. 2115).
Communion by intinction is allowed. We receive this way at my parish. THE PRIEST or DEACON only are allowed to distribute communion by intinction.
The author said this....
“The chalice cannot be left on the altar for people to pick up and drink from, not even during lightly attended Masses. The celebrant must distribute the Sacrament (United States Bishops’ Directory on Communion Under Both Species, 47). In fact, you’re not allowed to dip your host into the chalice; you have to take the cup and drink from it (DCUBS 45). “
So he is absolutely correct. Laity are not allowed to do the Oreo cookie dunk, nor pick up the challice (or glass wine goblet at some parishes *sheesh*) themselves.
