Holy Family Parish in Stow, Ohio, purchased a plastic screen with a slot through which Corona Communion is distributed (article’s picture).
More pictures of a distribution of Corona-Communion:
• The Italian standard for distributing Communion are one-way plastic gloves.
• Cologne Cardinal Woelki distributes Communion behind a plastic wall.
• Mainz Bishop Kohlgraf's Communion self-service in plastic boxes.
• German parish serves Communion on porcelain cake plates.
• Bishops around the world recommend distributing Communion with sugar tongs or tweezers.

I told my pastor and Bishop’s PR man that I will not wear a mask in my Father’s house. They already have social distancing with every other pew. If they want to deny me the Eucharist then so he it. May I add my thanks and praise? Cancer biopsy NEGATIVE!
Sacrilege.
They serve a different master.
Weird, I don’t know what to think of these methods?
See Post 4.
I will not take communion in the hand.
My hands are not worthy to touch the flesh of my savior.
NO NO NO
If my church has something like this set up, I will speak out and say NO.
(I did this that first Tuesday, when while waiting for Mass, the priest came out and said he wouldn’t be saying Mass. He spent the next 20 minutes fielding our questions. He won out...
but I started the push back.
How far the Church has fallen.
A Communion Challis must be made of Gold (a poor priest can have a silver challis internally plated with gold) but now the host can be received on porcelain?
I don’t like the plexiglass, there should not be a barrier between priest and communicant. I don’t like setting the host somewhere and the person has to retrieve it, that goes against idea of communion. The least offensive to my mind is the small tongs because then the priest is giving the host directly to the receiver, the tongs are an extension of hands that is not a barrier.
Actually liturgical law just says “precious materials”. There’s been clarification that china isn’t “precious,” and neither is crystal. But a platinum chalice is ok. Personally I’d go with rhodium (today’s spot price: $8,000 / oz.). :-)
Same here.
Jesus would rather that you come to the table along with all of the other sinners, than reject Him.
We’re not rejecting Him; we’re rejecting this sacrilegious charade.
I will come to the table humbly. If I am rejected it will not be by my Lord, but by will be by a priest.
Here is a video of Holy Mass in the middle of the battle of Iwo Jima, and the 4th Marine Division receiving communion:

Yet here we are.
Jesus wept.
I find the tweezers just as offensive and sacrilegious as the other novelties, including Holy Communion in the Paw.
crazy.
