According to ALL theoogians I hope! Nobody disputes this, but it is the mind of the Church that the Eucharistic celebration is more complete when both species are received. This is made clear in “The Sacred Constitutions” Chapter 2 Section 3B:according to most theologians-you are receiving both even when you just take the Body.
““Holy Communion…has a fuller form when it is received under both kinds” Under this form … the sign of the eucharistic banquet appears more perfectly”
This is repeated in the Catholic Catechism(1390): " The sign of Communion is more complete when given under both kinds"
What is disturbing is the refusal of some clergy to allow the faithful to receive under both kinds. Do they regard themselves as superior to the magisterium?
