When I was a nipper we had this paedo called Father Crowley in the boxy little converted ww2 cinema for a church. Once I copied an adult by putting my hands out for the communion host rather than taking in the mouth (fnarr) and he angrily blurted with spit going everywhere: are you a bloody Catholic?

It might have been because I'm a very Turkish/Asiatic looking whitey. But my unreliable memory says back in the late?70s taking host in the hand was an adults only privilege!
― calzino, Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:26 (four years ago) link
the older folk didn't like taking it in the hands because it was the body of christ and they weren't to sully it or something mad like that

contemporary opinion from cardinal robert sarah
Why do we insist on communicating standing in the hand? Why this attitude of lack of submission to the signs of God?
“[Receiving kneeling and on the tongue] is much more suited to the sacrament itself. I hope there can be a rediscovery and promotion of the beauty and pastoral value of this manner. In my opinion and judgment, this is an important question on which the church today must reflect. This is a further act of adoration and love that each of us can offer to Jesus Christ.”

I can't even remember choosing it, but if I did it shows rebellious I was. Unlike those Turks choosing their surnames from the Ataturk era who chose to be called names like Gonad or Arse for the lols.

How is that rebellious? It’s a saint’s name! One of my friends chose Jesus.

I think he meant that it shows how rebellious he was, i.e. not at all.

does Blair take the hosts in his hands, with some heat resistant gloves on. Not impressed with his fake Catholicism, he should have to spend a night in a coffin with Cardinal Hume's decaying corpse to prove he really has converted.

I thought Blair did very quietly convert to Catholicism and they refused to confirm it because of the obvious havoc it would have caused with the Northern Ireland peace process?
