Pope Paul VI, Memoriale Domini (May 29, 1969): Communion on the tongue is more conducive to faith, reverence, and humility. Stated, “The Apostolic See therefore vehemently urges bishops, priests and laity to carefully submit to the law (Communion on the tongue) which is still valid and which has been confirmed.” (#16) Stated that Communion in the hand carries with it “the danger of a loss of reverence for the August sacrament of the altar, of profanation, of adulterating the true doctrine.” Pope John Paul II (Nov. 1980, Germany): “There is an apostolic letter that the existence of this special permission is valid. But I tell you, that I am not in favor of it..... neither will I recommend it!” Also said, “I did not revoke what one of my predecessors has said about this….Hear, my dear priests and my dear brothers and sisters, only Communion on the tongue and kneeling is allowed. I say this to you as your bishop!”

Other than the Latin Rite, are there any other catholic rites that allow communion in the hand?

In my church, the past two weeks, the priests have mentioned that receiving the host while chewing gum was not right. The lack of reverence to the Eucharist is appalling by the hundreds who go to communion while not going to confession.
Add that not one person acknowledges the Lord with a bow or a genuflection and wear gym shorts, hip huggers and halters with everything thing swinging up the aisle and you have a picture of today's laity. What also gets me is the cud they are chewing.
I do not believe the communicants know anything about what they are in the process of doing while receiving. My post communion prayer is for those receiving at the same time I am.
It is time the priests got the laity in order..

Great post! Thank you.
Communion in the hand is like the altar girls; it makes not much sense, but you can't back off from it.

It's so simple really, Communion in the Hand is a sacrilege. Why do so many care so little for the Sacrament?
Sad...very sad...
Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us.
