Our assistant parish priest was lamenting to the congregation on the abuse and lack reverence to the Eucharist at communion.

I went to him and said, we never had this kind of complaints when people received the Eucharist kneeling on the communion rail, and receiving the host on the tongue. By the time they get up from the communion rail, the host had already been consumed.

Don’t you think this desecration was somehow initiated, or is given the occasion to be committed by the hierarchy because communion is received standing and on the hand? So the blame should go back to the hierarchy for this, and not to the people. This is lack of foresight by the hierarchy.

50-60 years ago we may have been forgiven for thinking this a wild conspiracy theory but with hindsight it's hard not to see that this comes very close to making sense of all that has unfolded from the past to the present day. I used to wonder how could antichrist possibly pull off the deception of the whole world; I don't wonder anyone.
