Receiving Communion in the Hand

These included: “the danger of a loss of reverence for the august sacrament of the altar, of profanation, of adulterating the true doctrine.”
But given that several bishops in Europe had already begun implementing this change illicitly, Pope Paul VI decided to take a vote on the matter rather than stomping it out altogether.
Two-thousand bishops across the globe were polled and the results were as follows:
59% of bishops said the laity of their diocese would not accept the new practice. 62% of bishops did not want to see the practice begin in their diocese. 66% of the bishops didn’t think the practice was worth addressing.

Not every action by a Pope, Cardinal or Bishop in history is of the Holy Spirit or in harmony with Him. Some actions, as when Our Lord rebuked St. Peter before His passion, are from the enemy.

This just shows that when you give Satan an inch he takes a million miles!

No surprise here, good info for those who didn't know this' and hopefully wise up and realize that there have been and still are many enemies within the church. Everytime you receive communion in the hand, you participate with the evil of those who created and who pushed forward this sacrilege.
