"The article really doesn't address so much the idea that Communion in the hand was promoted by rebellion in the Church. The article does, however, state quite clearly that Communion in the hand leads to loss of belief in the Real Presence, and makes an argument throughout the article that Communion in the hand is inherently a bad practice that the Church spent many centuries trying to stamp out."
This isn't true of this particular article. I was confusing it with the argument laid out in this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/700770/posts. I apologize for my confusion.
