German Synod’s "Conservative Opponent" Receives Communion in the Hand - From A Girl

At the January 30 opening Mass of the German Synodal Way, “Conservative” Regensburg Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer was served Holy Communion by a girl.

The February 9 issue of the Konradsblatt, the diocesan newspaper of Freiburg, wrote that it was a "symbol" that during the opening mass the bishops were sitting among the faithful and were served Communion by women.

On the picture behind Voderholzer is “conservative” Freiburg Archbishop Stephan Burger. One wonders whether the two celebrated Mass on that day.

"The saliva that can migrate from mouth to mouth via a priests fingers during Communion..."
No evidence that it has. Except, of course, you know Thor constantly saying so. That's his standard tactic for every delusion he cherishes. "Squawk! Say it again! Squawk! Say it again!"
I've got some bad news for you, Crackers... Even during "communion in the hand" people are still breathing all those nasty germs on the priest's hands as he gives them the Eucharist.

Obviously partaking of your neighbours saliva when you receive communion on the tongue is not a problem for you.
[Every catholic over 7 knows this can and sometimes does happen accidently ]
Your claims in the matter sound bogus which makes me doubt you have ever recieved communion on the tongue.
But as you continually insist that the morally degenerate universe of antipope Francis is that of a valid "pope" I will leave you to your fate and to perdition.

"Obviously partaking of your neighbours saliva when you receive communion on the tongue is not a problem for you."
...again, you repeat these claims, without any proof. This is your de facto rhetorical stunt for everything. Repeat, repeat, repeat, the same old lie.
"Every catholic over 7 knows this can and sometimes does happen accidently"
...again whenever you're wrong you fall back on claiming "everyone" or "every catholic" knows your lie is true.
"Your claims in the matter sound bogus which makes me doubt you have ever recieved communion on the tongue."
I've been receiving communion on the tongue for years and your paranoid germ delusions have never once happened.
"blah-blah-blah Antipope Francis... SQUAWK."
...again Thor's Catholic Parrot sprays his post with "bile" and cracker crumbs.

In these days of concern about Coronavirus communion in the hand is the more hygienic practice.
The saliva that can migrate from mouth to mouth via a priests fingers during Communion on the tongue is unaesthetic, distressing , and potentially infectious

The way things are going now every "exception" has become the norm including "extraordinary" Eucharistic ministers. At traditional Latin Mass parishes, if everyone has to wait a bit longer, that's what we do. Heaven forbid we should have a few extra minutes to beg The Almighty for His mercy much less thank Him for what we are about to receive.
Nahhh... that's gonna cut into a busy Saturday afternoon. :P

Dr Bobus

1. There's no such thing as an extra ordinary minister of the Eucharist. The minister of the Eucharist is the priest who is the celebrant. The laity who distribute communion are extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion EHC.
2. Any priest who says that the introduction of EHCs is to speed up distribution of communion is not telling the truth. They were introduced by activist hack liturgists as false participatio actuosa.

If you want to get technical about it Dr Bobus They're not called "extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion EHC", either. They're officially called just "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion."

I don't mind charitably making accomodations for someone's OCD but it would help if they got their facts straight, particularly since
1.) They're taking the time to post a correction and
2.) ...the term I used is both a recognied colloquialism and fully understood by all parties.

Someone should tell the bishop to do his job and not let some girl do it for him

De Profundis

If anyone can touch the Eucharist, why DO we consecrate the priests hands at the ordination rite?

You either accept the catholic churchs teaching now in place for many decades that communion can be recieved in the hand or you dont.
At the moment you have a choice.
With Coronavirus the choice of communion on the tongue may be prohibited.
