Summary

What is the history of Communion on the hand? Dr. Taylor Marhsall and Timothy Gordon discuss the practice in the early Church and refute the idea that Communion in the hand as normative. Instead, they show that Communion on the tongue or in the mouth (Latin: ore) was the preferred and normative way going back to Apostolic Tradition as confirmed by the Council of Trent. They also explain how Communion in Hand was established by disobedience and a series of papal indults in the 1970s. The best course of action is to attend the Traditional Latin Mass.
