If these cowardly bishops are so afraid of cooties on the Host, they should rather not distribute than to profane.

“ Hand Communion is only a tolerated exception..” A pandemic caused by a highly transmittible virus might be one of those tolerable exceptions. Moisture is the greatest aid to the viruses transmission. Exhaled breadth is moist. The virus reproduces is the front area of the nose. People exhale moist virus laden air through their nose onto the priests hand. Yes, not distributing communion is better than profaning the Blessed Sacrament. #BadScience

I am very disappointed in Church Militant! I understand a few articles, but to beat a dead horse is uncalled for... Getting tired of the constant attack!

Your confusing us with facts.
The liturgical ideologues refuse to bow to the superiority of common on the tongue for any reason.
I can administer holy Communion on the tongue and never touch any part of the persons mouth, but routinely when I administer in the hand I often inadvertently touch some part of the hand.

This Nardi piece is a classic example of the way a religious sectional interest distorts the sound principles of medical science and universally accepted principle of good hygiene in order to defend the liturgical rubrics of 1570.

This debate is another straw man fabricated by the novus ordo crowd. Holy Communion is Our Lord's greatest gift to His sheep and should be venerated by kneeling and receiving on the tongue. The hoax virus transmission argument via the sacred host is proposed by the same gang of hipster "catholics" who stand in line at halal food carts in NYC. Please, I have heard and read so many variations on this ridiculous theme over the years each one another variation of their tiresome free masonic hatred for Our Lord. Whether it is hosts for snowflakes with celiac syndrome, tofu and rice cake hosts , grape juice for alcholic priests etc etc. all are loathsome flatulence proposed by a host of first world neurotics. While Bergoglio mocks the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes he and his band of modernists never cease to perform the canard of the miraculous draught of red herrings.

Finally, someone with common sense. Multiple coronaviruses are the usual influenza viruses. There is no special coronavirus. People with fever and cough have been given contraindicated medication and ventilation. They have given them medication against diseases they do not have, AIDS, malaria, cancer, sclerosis, etc. And to many contraindicated ventilation that has been triggered by the deadly cytokine storm. The sanitary chaos in some places, due to false alarmism, has caused it.

Epidemiologically, this coronavirus does not make sense. It jumps thousands of kilometers, affecting some places and not others, for no scientific reason. For example, it hardly affects India, which has a border with China, more inhabitants than China, and very poor hygiene measures. Has no sense.

We must go back to the usual scientific medicine, the one that cures, forgetting new anti-scientific protocols imposed in some places by power.

Years ago when people were still real Catholics the reception of Holy Communion was a rare event. Very few of those humble people considered themselves worthy of receiving the body and blood soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. Hence the Easter Duty obligation. If the virus brings back some of that reverence to this generation of V2 fools it will be a good thing.

I love Catholic Tradition so much I'm prepared to tell lies about scientific principles, and endanger people's lives in order to show my devotion. After all, it's only the over-80s who are in danger, isn't it?

Own comment: 

This whole Holy-Communin-in-the-hand-to-prevent-coronavirus debate is ridiculous.

Unless it is part of NOChurch creed that people must receive Holy Communion for the Mass to be valid, I see no reason why it cannot be stressed that reception of Holy Communion at every Mass is not mandatory and therefore that people will not be able to receive until it is done reverently. It seems very NovusOrdoish to disregard reverence for the sake of a 'pandemic' which is at best exaggerated and at worst entirely fabricated, unless, of course, the promotion of irreverence has nothing to do with the supposed pandemic in the first place, as some commenter here mentions.
