I think people who want Communion on the tongue should be able to have it. Even if the bishop has said otherwise, as in our archdiocese. It does concern me that our pastor is insensitive in this regard. But I also don’t mind respectful reception of communion in the hand. I presume that’s how Jesus did it at the Last Supper and on the road to Emmaus.

I was neither present at the Last Supper nor on the road to Emmaus. So I'm not about to presume anything.

But I do know, from the inerrant Holy Bible, that Jesus was not adverse at touching peoples tongues:

[33] And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue: [34] And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened. [35] And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right. Mark 7:33
