The dioceses of Hong Kong and Singapore ordered that Holy Communion be distributed only on the hand while forbidding the reception on the tongue.
The reason given is the spreading of the Corona-virus.
However, not even in the historic times of the plague, Holy Communion was distributed on the hand. The priests protected themselves by using so called plague spoons (picture below).
This were golden or silver spoons with a spoon-handle up to forty centimetres to distribute Holy Communion.

"Your view then is that the priests hands/fingers are always miraculous and will destroy any germs that might be picked up."
That's not what I said, you idiot.
It's bad enough when you put words into Pope Francis' mouth, don't you dare put them in mine.
"This of course implies..."
A strawman argument since you're debating a claim I didn't present.

"This of course implies..."
A strawman argument since you're debating a claim I didn't present.
I made my position clear when replying to Arthur McGowan. I'll repeat it for your benefit.
"An antimicrobial is different from a non-viable transmission vector. The former is, as you said, something that "kills germs". A non-viable transmission vector is a method a virus can't be transmitted. For example, touching an HIV positive person's hair or skin is a non-viable tranmission vector. The virus can only be transmitted through direct contact with human bodily fluids."
I did not say the priest's hands "kill germs" . Full stop.
You're so OCD over "the priest's hands" you're blind to all else. As I said before, to you directly:
If your neighbor has a bad cough, you're more likely to catch their illness directly from them via airborne dispersion of the saliva/ mucus droplets.
All of which means, if someone is sick with a respiratory virus, you're more likely to catch it just from breathing the same air with them than you are from the priest's fingers. That's Intro To Basic Virology 101.
But that isn't how that glob of tapioca pudding between your ears works.
You've fixated on "the priests' fingers" and "communion in the hand" the same way you've fixated on "bergoglio".
Once that happens, just like always, you're deaf dumb and blind to all evidence, much less reason to the contrary.

The vile abuse you emit when your many falsehoods are confronted is no doubt due to your continued association with the diabolic formal heretic antipope Francis who engages constantly in such practices.
Like him you can not concentrate on specific points of argument but hide behind accusations and abuse.

You really have nothing to say and that will remain the position for as long as you continue to recognize the false and diabolic reign of antipope Francis.

The only falsehood here is you fabricating a view I never presented. You do it because you can't refute what I did present. You're more than an idiot, Thor. You're a damned liar and I see no reason to sugar-coat either term.
You lie about everything and anything as naturally as readily normal people speak the truth. You lie about history. You lie about Pope Francis. You can't even debate a …More

You lie about everything and anything as naturally as readily normal people speak the truth. You lie about history. You lie about Pope Francis. You can't even debate a comment I made without first falsifying it into something I didn't present.
It's a malady and mendacity you share with other deluded fools whose world-view is based on fiction.
"Like him you can not concentrate on specific points of argument but hide behind accusations and abuse."
...and that's another of your standard diversionary tactics: Magical Thinking.

Saying something doesn't makes it real because you said so.. I did "concentrate on specific points of argument". Better still, I corrected your "specific points of argument" because you don't know what you're talking about like usual.
And your reply to that? To be expected. Every time you lose a debate you always lapse this same fall-back of crying about how a.) you've been insulted, b.) you've heroically confronted "falsehood" (which you always leave unrefuted) c.) the person who bested you is just like Pope Francis somehow.
You're just noise and the only thing that surpasses the dishonesty of your tactics is your repetition of them.
Now either counter what I presented directly and truthfully or quit the field. I'm certain there are at least four other posts that haven't seen your irrelevant fabrications about Pope Francis yet.
Dogs urinate on every lamp post and hydrant to make sure they spread their "message". Your behavior and input on GTV is no different.
