Let’s try post #3 shall we? If all you had to do as a Catholic is abide by the Ten Commandments, life, I think, would be much less confusing for you. You’re also snide...
Now you’re making up your own personal “scripture”. You’re worse than a protestant.
Francis Eucharist: Guy Picks Up Communion, Doesn't Know What To Do With It
No, just pointing out the conflict between receiving on the tongue while kneeling and the Last Supper.
Christ, in His eternal wisdom, foresaw that man taking Communion. May the Lord's will be done.
You apparently don’t know the difference between positive will and permissive will.
Using your twisted logic, God wills abortion, sodomy along with Communion in the paws.
You tell me which was the Lord's will when He held the Last Supper and told the Apostles to "Do this in memory of me." but didn't have them kneel and receive on the tongue.
Because Permissive Will is what allowed the Church to change after hundreds of years and recognition of His Positive Will is what is changing it back.
Communion in the hand: a Protestant attack on the priesthood
The Grave Sin of Communion in the Hand
Communion in the hand is a sacrilege... Each Communion in the hand brings more punishment...
There are a lot of things to focus on, to intellectualize about, to stay in irrelevant details in order to avoid what's really going on.
One of those links you posted had a question - "How many Sacred Fragments are caused and dropped—even when the Host is given as reverently as possible?"
That's called Deflection and it's a narcissistic trait and/or a coping strategy.
Christ Himself broke bread and handed it to the Apostles. He didn't hold a communion plate under their chin in case a crumb fell. As all of creation is His; it's His bread, His molecular tension, and His gravity contributing to "Sacred Fragments" falling, yet He chose to hand It to them that way, while saying "Do this in memory of me."
Again, if He willed it, who was anyone to change it?
God willed rampant homosexuality in Sodom. God then willed Sodom be destroyed.
Put that in your protestant pipe and smoke it.
That's deflection. Stay on topic. The thread is about receiving Communion on the tongue while kneeling which conflicts with the Last Supper and the recent statement of Pope Francis.
No deflection at all.
Just using “Yoit’s logic”!
What recent statement did Francis make?
Statement in that Catholics were told not to kneel or receive Communion on the tongue.
Please give a source where Pope Francis, himself, made such a statement.
I’ll give you a hint. He never made such a statement.
Directing priests to act accordingly at such a high visibility funeral is a statement.

Talk about straying outside your precious “sola scriptura”.
You a prime example of a cafeteria catholic; no different than a protestant.
