About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Wherein a Bishop bans Communion on the tongue until after Mass. A Response.
Here is a dictate from the Bishop of Little Rock, Most Rev. Anthony B. Taylor, dated 7 May 2020 to his flock about reception of Communion on the tongue during this COVID-1984 time. We’ve seen Bp. Taylor before, in 2016, … Read More
Wherein Fr. Z rants about repression of Communion on the tongue and about a “new normal”.
I saw a video recently of a young canonist whom I am pretty sure is a good and solid guy, well-versed. He makes an argument that, yes, a bishop can on his own authority, because of urgent need, override the … Read More
As Masses open up, priests told to DROP Hosts onto hands, Communion on the tongue is banned
As public Masses start up again, people are sending notes with indications from different dioceses about distribution of Holy Communion. Under the excuse of being “realistic” and so forth, chanceries are writing for their bishops – I prefer to believe … Read More
ASK FATHER: Words of comfort for those whose bishop demand Communion only on the hand?
From a priest… QUAERITUR: I am a parish priest in a Midwestern diocese. Our bishop is allowing us to celebrate the Mass publicly again soon. One of the stipulations is that communion can only be given in the hand. Do … Read More
ASK FATHER: How to receive Communion on the tongue?

ASK FATHER: Even after continuous sacrileges, Bishop forces Communion in the hand
From a priest… QUAERITUR: At my parish since March of this year, the Holy Eucharist has been found on the floor 14+ times. Initially, when our Lord was found, I addressed it from the pulpit, asked certain parishioners to watch, … Read More
ASK FATHER: Can a priest set a general parish policy of no Communion in the hand?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I’m in a Novus Ordo Parish . Our assistant pastor recently announced that he would only give communion on the tongue and his extraordinary minister was instructed to do the same. A woman insisted on the … Read More
QUAERITUR: What if someone walks away with a Host?
From a reader: Father, what is proper procedure when someone walks up, receives the Eucharist in the hand (BTW, this is the best reason for forcing receiving it by the mouth) and tries to walk out with It? Twice I … Read More
