I AM a practicing Catholic.
I DOUBT if Jesus would have a problem with HOW to receive Holy Communion...but that is just my opinion. He DID seem more interested in a clean HEART than clean hands, but maybe you know better than I do.

And, I am NOT interested with one's obsession with how to receive holy communion. It's SUCH a detail. That we DO receive it SEEMS to me to be more important, but then maybe you have different ideas.

As for fasting...it USED to be three hours, now it's only an hour before Holy Communion. Also, we are allowed to drink water right up to the very moment of receiving the Eucharist.
We DO this because we are instructed to do so.

Things change. Jesus doesn't. Maybe you simply don't care for the changes and don't WANT to change.

Cloudmountain. Why are we being instructed to fast prior to receiving Holy Communion?
