I can report only on the other side. In our Church almost everybody receives kneeling on tongue at the bars of the altar; a few disabled people receive standing at the foot of the stairs; and as everywhere there are a few who receive standing and into their hand.
The priests patiently came down on the stairs to serve their desire.
My reaction : how fortunate is that both of our priests are young and healthy.
If I have no choice but attend Mass at my territorial Church I always receive standing but to tongue, and always go to the line where the priest is, to avoid confrontation with some unknown extraordinary minister (we know each other with the priest, who is otherwise a very good man)
As the Hungarian’s say ‘the moral is that God’s zoo is big, even I fit into that’.
Off topic note. Yesterday morning was some 2 inches snow and falling, and my wife is afraid to ride in snow. I am Catholic since 72 years so I offered her, to go to our territorial church (2 miles) instead of our regular Church, which is 12 miles away. She vehemently refused: our Church is the beautiful Church we shall go there, in the territorial Church we would turn our back to the Tabernacle. She is Catholic since last October. The tolerance level of the neophytes is lower.
