Response to the Blair Incident
We wouldn't need to invent gestures in the Communion Procession if we brought back the Communion Rail. We also wouldn't need all those pesky Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist!
In all seriousness I'd like someone to explain what precipitated this change in how the Eucharist was administered. "Vatican II" is not the answer - explain to me what about Vatican II brought about this change in liturgical practice.
