Same here on the coast.
But there is something that seems (to me at least) incongruent and irreverent about standing during the priest's Communion and during the words:
"Lord I am not worthy to receive you, ...".
Not to mention remaining standing while everyone is receiving Communion.
I am not a big fan of our archbishop. He owns OCP and could correct the heresy and irreverence in their music. He has not done this.
I am not surprised that he, (one of Bernardin's first auxilliaries), would make a liturgical decision, (having the congregation stand during Communion), which would lessen belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
I don't think this came from your Bishop alone; I believe it came from the new GIRM.
It has to do with Communion being a kind of Processional. Thus the singing should start immediately after the priest finishes his Communion.
Our choir will still not conform. We had a visiting priest here from Goa, India, doing a Mission, and the choir did it right that Sunday, but my hopes were dashed this last Sunday. (Guess they don't get the idea that they are serving at Mass by singing (and not performing)!!!
One of the things that irks me, can you tell?
BTW, I am not aware of any bishop "owning" OCP.
The first time I took her to a TLM, after mass she said, "Mom my knees hurt", ;-) and I of course responded how my mother would have, "so, offer it up!" Now, however she is quite used to it.
Best I could find on their site about the founder!
