I was watching EWTN tonight and noticed that the priest took the host and dipped it into the wine. Isn’t that contrary to teaching in the CC?

Presumably the priest was following the instruction given here for the General Instruction for the Roman Missal in America:
usccb.org/liturgy/current/GIRM.pdf, #83
The priest breaks the Bread and puts a piece of the host into the chalice to signify the unity of
the Body and Blood of the Lord in the work of salvation, namely, of the living and glorious Body
of Jesus Christ.

Q: I have heard that the Holy See does not allow us to dip the host into a chalice to receive the Eucharist in both forms. But when I watched part of World Youth Day, I saw many clergy, including bishops and cardinals, doing this. What are the rules of the Church on this practice?
A: The dipping of the host into the consecrated wine is called “intinction.” The current edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal states: “The blood of the Lord may be received either by drinking from the chalice directly or by intinction” (245), so the practice is permitted. What is not permitted is for the lay faithful to self-communicate by dipping the host that they will consume into the precious blood. This can be done only by a minister of the Eucharist.

I have not seen Communion normally given in both kinds in the Roman rite Ordinary Form as celebrated on EWTN (I assume this was at their chapel).
However, on occasion, Eastern Catholic liturgies have been broadcast. Especially in the Maronite LIturgy, intinction is the norm (in my experience).
Could this be what you have seen–an Eastern LIturgy?

EWTN has used this meathod for years, and yes, it is a Latin Rite, and yes, the current Bishop knows about it and so did the last one (when they started), and yes, it is allowed.
They had several reasons for going this route instead of the more typical way. I cannot remember all of them off the top of my head.
In the Latin Rite, intinction is allowed BUT only the person distributing communion may do it. A person cannot receive in the hand, walk to the Cup, and “self intinct.”

Thank you to all who answered my question. I must have been misinformed by a Catholic friend of mine. She told me it wasn’t allowed. I understand now.
Blessings to you all,
