46: Communion on the Hand vs on the Tongue

Adrian Fonseca Episode 46

Here is the definitive case for Communion on Tongue. 
Today is a longer episode but it is because I go through ever case for communion on the tongue.
Starting with scripture moving on to church Fathers, Councils of the Church, Popes, Saints, Apparitions, Visions, Exorcist, modern Bishops, Priests, and Cardinals. 
I also include a brief history of the indult of Communion on the Hand by Pope St. Paul VI. 

A few quotes that I did not get to include in the podcast are below. 

“There are really no serious arguments for communion in the hand. But there are the most gravely serious kinds of arguments against it.” - Dietrich Von Hildebrand

“Behind communion-in-the-hand – I wish to repeat and make as plain as I can – is a weakening, a conscious, a deliberate weakening of faith in the Real Presence.” - Father John Hardon

“The fact that only the priest gives Holy Communion with his consecrated hands is an Apostolic Tradition.” - Council of Trent

“Like it or not, therefore, the gesture of communion in the hand now conveys just one idea: I repudiate the dogma of transubstantiation...Communion in the hand is a built-in sacrilege that destroys the faith - and it has worked its evil everywhere.” - Fr. Anthony Cekada

“Communion in the hand is a major spike through which the Lord today is being re-crucified in His Church.” - David Martin, Our Lady’s Workers of Southern California

“Also, I want to state very clearly that the experiment of giving communion in the hand has been a disaster.” - Fr. Benedict Groeschel
