In the Latin Mass, is communion given under both species to the laity? I am a recent convert to the Catholic Church from an Eastern Orthodox Church. While I understand the Church’s teaching on receiving communion under one species, it “feels” incomplete to me, due to my orientation. I have not seen a Latin Mass, and wonder what the practice is here?
 
In the Latin Mass only the consecrated Host is received and only on the tongue.
It is not incomplete to receive only one species. Even just one crumb of the Host or one drop of the Precious Blood contains the whole Christ. Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
 
session 13, Council of Trent:

CANON III.-If any one denieth, that, in the venerable sacrament of the Eucharist, the whole Christ is contained under each species, and under every part of each species, when separated; let him be anathema.
 
The other posters are correct, however, I have seen the chalice shared with the bride and groom in traditional Nuptial Masses.
