May I ask what your personal objection to this practice is?
I received communion from a priest once. It burned my mouth. Should I be concerned?
It’s not a matter of “personal objections”; it’s canon law. It’s also disobedience; bishops shouldn’t be arrogating to themselves the authority to unilaterally change church law because they don’t like it.
Personally, receiving or not receiving as a Protestant played a significant role in my own conversion to Catholicism.
Next he’ll be inviting mohammedans to partake...
Is there some other kind of Protestant?
I wasn’t aware that any Catholic priest was force feeding communion to anyone.
You converted to Catholicism; how long did that process take?
i wouldnt ask for communion from someone not in my denomination
we are not all in agreement about it, to do so is to support unionism and syncretism
beliefs mean specific things
I’m still waiting for a response from a Christian Freeper in a North Korean concentration camp what their opinion of guitar music in church is.
I believe that administering communion to any person not of your belief, is a sure way to damn their soul.
RCIA started in August and ended at Easter. My personal conversion to the Church took about 35 years.
More heretics.
Prayers up for Holy Mother Church
With all due respect, this is not on the same level.
I believe that administering communion to any person not of your belief, is a sure way to damn their soul.

Why?
As a Christian, I’m quite sure I would not partake of a Catholic communion.
Either you believe in a first century Christian style of partaking of the Lord supper, or you believe in the Catholic version.
But as they are fundamentally opposed to each other, it would be a mistake for a Catholic to partake of a Christian communion, and a mistake for a Christian to partake of a Catholic communion.
A real Protestant wouldn’t want to receive the Roman ritual.
Hebrews ch. 7
“For such a High Priest was fitting for us,
who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,
and has become higher than the heavens;
who does not need daily, as those high priests,
to offer up sacrifices,
first for His own sins and then for the people’s,
for this He did once for all
when He offered up Himself.”
That is the point exactly.
Are you suggesting that I, as a Catholic, am not Christian? People just love to bash Catholics around here, and I’ve been around here a long time. Ughhhh.
As a Christian, I’m quite sure I would not partake of a Catholic communion. Or to paraphrase fishtank, "A real Protestant wouldn't want to."
To clarify, this is exactly the point.
