Vox Cantoris: Bishop Athanasius Schneider--"Communion in the hand must go!"

Vox Cantoris: Bishop Athanasius Schneider--"Communion in the hand must go!": Cardinal Ratzinger was lied to in 1978. He knows that now. It wasn't a complete lie, but it was a distortion of the truth that amounted to a lie. The early Church *never* used the left hand as a sort of platen, and *never* allowed worshippers to grab the host with the right hand. The early Church placed the host upon the palm of the worshipper's right hand, and the worshipper ate the host right from the palm. There was never any grabbing or holding.
