Nobody but a priest with his consecrated hands should be touching the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar with their hands or fingers. There really is no arguing this, consistent with having and displaying due reverence for God the Son.

That’s fine. We don’t need to be writing our down our own words, putting them in quotation marks, and attributing them to the magisterium.

I should also add that I am not an apologist for communion-in-the-paw at all (I think it should be abolished), but I don't believe your statement above was completely true prior to the Council.

Deacons were licit ministers of Holy Communion prior to the Council. They were considered "extraordinary" ministers, but it was permitted for them to be deputized by a priest to distribute the Eucharist. Also -- as far as I have been able to determine -- deacons' hands were not anointed or consecrated during their ordination. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that point; I do not have the 1962 Pontifical Missal and have not found the 1962 rite of diaconal ordination online.)

Not an especially authoritative source, but take a look at this, especially posts 4 through 7.
