I feel as your brother does, although I do not argue with my priest. I will not do the handshake, although I grit my teeth and feebly wave at people. Also, I avoid receiving my Savior at the hands of anyone but a priest, and I especially resent the female extraordinary ministers.

My excuse is that the "eucharettes" are grossed out by having to place Our Lord on my tongue. One freaked out so badly that he (he was a he, and a newbie) actually dropped the Host (I keep my hands up like a paten, so no serious harm done).

The H1N1 scare did give me an excellent excuse to swap lines to the priest.

Shame to have to be thinking about all this stuff while I'm supposed to be in a proper frame of mind to receive . . . .
