You might want to think about using your knowledge, talents and experience to engage instead of attacking.

So give us an idea/example of what you mean by suggesting that ebb tide should “engage” in regard to the practice of administering communion in the paw, I mean in the hand. I can’t speak for ebb tide, but I am categorically opposed to it for the reasons I’ve explained elsewhere on this thread. And all the explanations and rationale for introducing the practice is never going to change my thinking. Therefore engaging others about it would only serve as an opportunity to explain why it’s a practice I will never believe to be acceptable.
I am checking out of this debate with both of you. Not because I don’t think that discussing can be fruitful, but it is clear that you have no desire for reasoned discussion. You are right, I and everyone who disagrees is wrong, because you are right.
The authority of the Church only applies when you agree with it
I think this story has played out before and you are too blind to see it.
Tell Pelosi and Martin Luther hi - I think they share / shared your logic.
And no ebb - don’t want to see more internet or news interpretations of the Church’s position. The catechism is a pretty easy and usable reference. When that is changed let me know.
Unless that doesn’t apply and I need to go an earlier version, because you don’t like it...
Take care and all the best.
