Communion on the tongue is still an option in even the most liberal parishes I've been to.

You've missed a few then, not that we expect you to have attended every liberal Church. There are those who will scold you if you try to receive on the tongue. They will scold you if you genuflect. Etc. Fortunately there aren't very many, but they do exist, and their actions are directly contrary to both the tradition and the living authority of the Church.

My son received his First Communion last month. The nun in charge of the class refused him Communion on the tongue during practice - I was there. I told her that he made the decision himself and he understood the difference between the hand and tongue reception - she said "I don't care how he receives it for the rest of his life, but on Communion day he will take it in his hands" - I called the priest and my son did receive on his tongue, but the nun was fit to be tied.
