Should one smack the person in front of him if the line isn’t moving fast enough, as I witnessed one of the faithful, eager to receive the Body and Blood of his Lord, do one Sunday morning?

I am not Catholic. But I do have a legit question.

(In my parish, we stopped distributing the Precious Blood a couple years ago, during one of our big flu outbreaks, and the practice was never restored.)

Couldn't the priest put the wine (Holy Blood) in a spray bottle and squirt some in to the mouth? Is there a requirement that the wine must be drank from a goblet?

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but just speak the words and my soul shall be healed.

#11 Do not drink too much of the wine.....

I find it very distracting when the Eucharistic Minister touches the hair of the child in front of me to give a blessing and then uses the same hand to pick up my Host and hand it to me.

I really wish they would just hold their hands above the child’s head as they bless. I’m often distracted by worry about germs and lice right at the moment of most importance.

And can Eucharistic Ministers even really give a blessing? They aren’t deacons. Is their blessing any more than just any lay persons?
