The rest from Mr. YankeThere are many reasons why receiving communion on the tongue is superior. First, reception on the tongue is the universal norm. Places, such as the United States, that are allowed to receive in the hand are only allowed by an indult, which is an exception to the law, and as such, may be withdrawn at any time. In no way does this indult make communion in the hand required for anyone, but it simply allows it for those who wish to take advantage of it.
There are also some serious issues with reverence when Holy Communion is received in the hand. The Catechism of the Council of Trent explains this well (emphasis mine):Nor should it be forgotten that Christ, whole and entire, is contained not only under either species, but also in each particle of either species. Each, says St. Augustine, receives Christ the Lord, and He is entire in each portion. He is not diminished by being given to many, but gives Himself whole and entire to each. 1
Those homeschoolers are crazy! :)
