Title
RECEPTION OF HOLY COMMUNION DURING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
Description
The directive to receive Holy Communion in the hand is not being made from a theological standpoint, but of public safety. Just as are the directives for not receiving the Precious Blood, not extending a Sign of Peace, and the use of only Ordinary Ministers for administering Holy Communion, are also being made for public safety. There are some who could be tempted to take each one of those accommodations being made in light of our unprecedented situation in order to make a theological posture. Let us keep it firmly in the light of how all of these accommodations are being made with the motivation for public safety. Just as was the unprecedented accommodation of not having public Mass for what will nearly be seven weeks.
