Signs of a Bad Bishop? He Treats Jesus Like a Frisbee and Denies that Mass is about "Worshiping Jesus."

This cartoon illustrates Bishop Richard Stika's instruction on how his flock must receive Communion. No Communion on the tongue and if any of you self-righteous, overly pious Catholics dare to defy his non-canonical order, you will be ejected into the outer darkness. (Hat tip to Mundabor.) Really! He will ban from the Church indefinitely anyone who dares to quibble with his order!

Some Common Sense about the Coronavirus and Holy Communion

How many germs are passed around
during the sign of peace.

Goodness, a bishop is showing some common sense about the risk of contracting the coronavirus from the reception of Holy Communion on the tongue.

Portland archdiocese: Coronavirus or no, Communion can be received on the tongue

As the article points out, the risk of contracting the virus is equal regardless of how the communicant receives and actually the hands are more likely to be germ ridden. I have no intention of changing my practice and will receive on the tongue when I go to Mass.
