Okay but it's not a matter of trust because they straight up say you HAVE TO take communion at Mass every Sunday, and someone saying things like this will ensure that people will not see being infected as abrogating their obligation

Traditionally, the Church sends lay ministers to people's homes after the service to bring the consecrated Host to those who cannot attend Mass due to illness, but this is understood to mean being too physically weak to attend

I said *normal* circumstances. I'm just very wary of all these big dramatic "let us redefine society entirely for the foreseeable futurr in the face of this one sickness!" pushes I've seen a lot.

People have been saying it's kind of nasty that the priest directly puts the wafer in your mouth for years I mean he even ritually washes his hands first but he just rinses them in water (and changing this to sanitizing them in Purell would be tarnishing ancient tradition)

That is what I meant, it's a Catholic thing I guess not a universally enforced one

Sorry, still lost. Did you mean “they’re supposed to feed it to you” or “they’re not supposed to feed it to you”?

They're supposed to feed it to you Looking at this article, they stopped enforcing it as a rule in 1977 and officially said you can choose between "communion in mouth" or "communion in hand" but a ton of traditionalists strongly object to the latterhttps://cruxnow.com/faith/2015/03/communion-in-the-hand-vs-communion-on-the-tongue/ …
