This has nothing to do with the mass itself, but this is just amazing. I’m watching it on MSNBC. Over the Offertory procession, the network commentators are discussing transubstantiation and John 6.I am watching On line
How is violating centuries of tradition, sacramental reverence, communion line efficiency, and the universal norm of the Church by taking communion by the hand in any sense “VERY good” ??VERY good - some receive in the hand, some on the tongue from the Pope!!!

Sure, Benedict may have allowed it (the US has the indult, after all), but I suspect that he personally does not like it.
Well of course he allows it – the US has the indult (as I said). But don’t be surprised if the indult is finally rescinded some day.It shows that HE stands by the Church in holding BOTH methods as acceptable - and since you don’t read minds (and the line could have been instructed to not receive in the hand IF he did not want to do that) your guess is less than meaningful.
Upholding the Church’s decision that BOTH is acceptable BY PERSONAL EXAMPLE (unlike what he has done with the TLM) is not an answer to your question about ‘VERY good’??Well of course he allows it – the US has the indult (as I said). But don’t be surprised if the indult is finally rescinded some day.
And you didn’t answer how it’s “VERY good”.
Stop trying the turn this thread into an argument. Start a new one.Upholding the Church’s decision that BOTH is acceptable BY PERSONAL EXAMPLE (unlike what he has done with the TLM) is not an answer to your question about ‘VERY good’??
