LOL. I can believe it !! Personally, we only go in line to receive from a priest (or deacon) ourselves. However, one time recently, the priest did not want to hand out Communion [for almost a whole week at daily Mass] because he was sick; nothing sadder to see than four EMs distributing the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, while the priest sits in a chair.
That’s like folks who “schieve” (pronounced “skeeve”)- the Italian word for when you don’t want to touch something someone else has touched, because you’re afraid of germs. They won’t drink from the Chalice, and are glad it’s more “sanitary” to receive Our Lord in their hands. I simply don’t believe that. That’s Jesus’ Precious Blood in that Chalice, and I don’t believe It carries germs!
