The Church says you are wrong!
How? Why do you think Pope John Paul II only gave communion on the tongue. His he wrong too to do so? In 1980, he said that he could not be for communion in the hand and also would not recommend it. Also,“To touch the Holy Creations is a privilege of the ordained.“Laymen can only get permission “for true emergency”.
Cardinal Julius Dopfner in 1976 said shortly before his ,“Had I known that through Communion in the hand so much lack of reverance was to be practiced, I would have never spoken for it…Today one goes to Holy communion like one took holy water in the past. For two years i fought for Communion in the hand. Now that I have seen the results, I would never again do it. But now, I know of no way to rescind what has occured. Get rid of Communion in the hand!”
Pope Paul VI warned seriously of the dangers of Communion oin the hand and advised “for the good of the Church itself” that all Bishops, Priests, and Laity once again conform with the again confirmed manner of Holy Communion on the tongue. In 1975, Pope Paul dismissed Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the very author of Liturgical Refrom.
Saint Pope Pius X, 1914; “In the moment of receiving Holy Communion one must kneel.”
Saint Thomas Aquinas, 1274: He emphasized that the Most Holy could only be touched by consecrated hands, except for “emergencies”.
St Augustine, 430:”…but no one eats this flesh, before he has not adored it. …, we sin of we not adore it”
Saint Catherine of sienna, 1380: She received Holy Communion from Jesus Himself into the mouth.
Jesus said to Saint Bridget of Sweden in 1373, “Look, my daughter, I left behind five gifts to my preists,… and fifth, the privelage to touch My Most holy flesh with their hands.”
Cardinal Franjo Seper, 1981: " The question of Hand Communion is for me not a question of the form, but… a question of faith and therefore truly a decision of conscience for the Preist." “No one, haveing asked his conscience, can thereupon feel the need to request communoin in the Hand.” So please ask yourself, when and why have you ever started with Holy Communion in the hand. Do so honsestly, then ask the answer into prayer. Was it a good reason or was it just because everone else was doing it?Ask or listen to Jesus about this.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 1998: The Sisters of Charity allow only communion on the the tongue, and when asked about this, one of her senior Sisters responded:“Mother Teresa has asked for this because she wishes to be obedient to the Pope. Also when asked about, in her opinion, what the worst evil in the crisis of the Church by a group of Bishops is, she answered, surprising them, that it was the"modern form of recieving communinon”.
Mother Angelica, EWTN TV: “Very few children I have met have ever been taught that He is really, truly, present in the Holy Eucharist. …We find Hosts in missalets, we find Hosts under pews under chewing gum… I have seen a 9 year-old pop one like an M&M. I have seen people put it into their sleeves, put it in their pockets, and leave it on the pew.”
Fraternity of Preists of Preists of St.Peter(formed by Pope John Paul II): Their preists distibute “no Hand Communion.”
Saint Katherine Emmerich, 1824(stigmata) Consisdered as the most famous of all German s, Katharina saw Jesus distribute the bread into the mouths of the apostles, as did Therese Neumann in 1962(stigmata)
There are other quotes too i am sure i could find. It seems some of the greatest Church leaders and saints agree with me. Also read the articles i posted before, they’ll defiantly help you understand how important is to receive Jesus on the the tongue while kneeling. hope this helped
