Communion in hand

[TraditionalCatholic]

HI, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION REGARD STO COMMUNION IN HAND…

During this Pandemic, Our Church (Novus Ordo) announced last March that **

“NO MORE COMMUNION IN HAND”

** for the protection of the Priest and Lay too said by our Bishop via Letter… I have no choice but to follow our Local Church new order.

so it’s been 7 Months, but still I can’t go to TLM due to

No Public Transportation

and I am still Taking Communion in Hand not in Tongue.

My question is:
For the Past 7 Months of taking Communion in Hand, Did I commit Mortal Sin?
-I know it is a Grave Sin that taking Communion in Hand is Forbidden, but it has a Confirmation from the Bishop…

Did I commit Mortal Sin or Not?
I am very confuse.

Thanks for your Help and Advice.

Did I commit Mortal Sin?

How could you possibly have been committing a mortal sin?

know it is a Grave Sin that taking Communion in Hand is Forbidden

What??? It is not forbidden… it is not a grave sin and it is actually not a sin at all. The church allows it.

Receiving (not “taking”) Communion in the hand is permitted by the Vatican and by your bishop.
It is NOT a mortal sin in any way, assuming you are in the state of grace when you receive.
The Vatican and your bishop do NOT encourage people to commit mortal sins for months at a time.

I have no idea why you would think it was a mortal sin.

No, it’s most certainly not. Where did you get that idea?

Did I commit Mortal Sin or Not?

How could obeying your Bishop, by doing something approved by the Church, be sinful?

There have been multiple lengthy topics on this subject. You might want to do a forum search.

It’s not a sin.

As a side note, my bishop did the exact opposite; no communion on the tongue.

That seems to be the pattern worldwide.

In our Archdiocese, there doesn’t seem to be an outright ban on COTT but a very strong reminder about charity to others = CITH.

OP, could you have misunderstood? What country are you in?

I think there may be a language barrier here.

No, not a sin at all.

Communion in the Hand = Yes, please.

The Archdiocese of Portland (Oregon) has disallowed parishoners receiving the Host on the tongue during the pandemic, until further notice. It is NOT a mortal sin to receive the Host in the hand, regardless of what your preference might be. If I may be honest, it sounds like you’re being dramatic, even a little scandalous. If your bishop ordered it, it’s allowable under these circumstances.

You lost me on this one. If you think the Pope and most of the bishops are wrong on something that can send you to Hell, then that is the more serious issue.
