Since the date of this article is unknown (clearly before the death of JPII), there's no way to know if it also precedes "Redemptionis Sacramentum", which does a lot to tighten up liturgical abuses connected with the Blessed Sacrament (a term oddly absent from the article; surely "Eucharist" is not an adequate synonym). Nevertheless, it should be pointed out -- again -- that there is no such thing as a "Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister". Only the priest is a minister of the Holy Eucharist, and he is "ordinary", as that's his function.

I had pulled that up from EWTN and chose to post this one first and then it. Guess I’d better get to it, huh?

Unless you want to do it.

According to the Vatican, the proper term is “Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion” not “Eucharistic Minister” or “Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist.”
