When do you expect to graduate from grade school?
THink about it...
Think about this:
Pope Paul VI (1963-1978) "This method [on the tongue] must be retained." (Memoriale Domini)
May 29, 1969 In view of the gravity of this matter and the weight of the arguments proposed, the Sovereign Pontiff has decided that the long received manner of distributing Holy Communion to the faithful is not to be changed.
Pope John Paul II "To touch the sacred species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained. (Dominicae Cenae, 11)
"It is not permitted that the faithful should themselves pick up the consecrated bread and the sacred chalice, still less that they should hand them from one to another." (Inaestimabile Donum, April 17, 1980, sec. 9)
