>>I have. More than once.<<
Someone in your parish need a bit of training.
In my MANY years of receiving on the tongue, it’s been touched once. By my husband as he was training to be an EMHC.
We have eight Holy Masses on the weekends, three every weekday, 1000 families with an average of six children and all of us receive on the tongue. We’ve suspended the handshake of peace and the Holy Water has drops of bleach added. And we have NO flu outbreak here.
Our priests and EMHCs are trained to dispense the Holy Eucharist without touching the tongue. If my convert DH can be trained, anyone can.
I’ll take my chances of one tongue touch over the lipstick smears and backwash of a communal cup anyday.

I said nothing about receiving from the chalice.
