It would seem that His Excellency is much more in need of my screen name than I am ... although in all fairness and in the interests of honesty I think that when he adopts it, he should correct the spelling by changing one letter.
He would seem to have grossly exceeded his authority. IMO. IANACL.

It seems to me that the TLM passes far less germs.
I was thinking about this at my Novus Ordo Mass this Sunday. All that handshaking and the communion in the hand, it has to be a flu outbreak waiting to happen.

I have received "on the tongue" for years, and have never experienced the EM's finger touching my tongue.
It would make sense, I think, for the Bishop to rule that henceforth all priests and deacons will receive training on how to administer the Host without touching people's tongues, and will extend the time of each Mass by 15 minutes so that distribution will be done slowly and with special care. And the participation of lay people as "Extraordinary" Ministers of the Eucharist will be henceforth suspended until the end of the H1N1 pandemic.
And no Handshake of Peace except between family members.
That would work.
C'est vrai?
