Actually, I think your "doddering seniors" comment was in regard to the resumption of the Tridentine Mass.
The rubrics of that Mass do not allow Eucharistic ministers.
My "doddering seniors" comment was ridiculous, in response to the ridiculous "the dog ate my Missal" comments of Loyalist. See?
The rubrics of that Mass do not allow Eucharistic ministers.
Actually, they're "extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers" which likely wouldn't be needed for the Tridentine Masses at most parishes.
A priest I know, who has never celebrated "that Mass", calls them Eucharistic monsters.
