Archbishop Lwanga (Uganda) bans Holy Communion by hand, mass outside church in Kampala Archdiocese"

[Phemie]

I think LifeSiteNews is trying to suggest that Communion in the hand is inferior. LifeSiteNews tends to do that.

I don’t think in this case it’s fair to blame LifeSite. Archbishop Lwanga, in article 1 of the decree, says that receiving on the tongue is more reverent.

My understanding of reading the passage you quoted, the poster means that one should receive directly to your mouth ie on the tongue, because as he/she says only the priest has the right to carry it (in the hand - the Body of Christ ). That receiving in your hands carries the risk of particles of Christ can fall away including the whole host being dropped down on the ground .

(the bold parts are mine as these are words taken directly from sirived309 post as quoted by you).

BTW, how did you resurrect and post on that thread 9 YEARS later???

I have no earthly idea. This was not my post.

@camoderator
It was an administrative error. The post was originally (and still is) the original post in this thread, created today by @HomeschoolDad:

Uganda bishop bans CITH Liturgy and Sacraments

Thoughts, anyone? Yes, I know, many people dislike LifeSite News. Be that as it may, just read what the bishop said. Ditto for Cardinal Sarah’s comments.

Apparently that post and two more were inadvertently moved to the 9-year-old thread. I’ve never seen that before!

This is why I thought you (HomeschoolDad) had resurrected a 9 year old thread!
