I wonder also what will be the reaction of the members of the Precious Blood Apostolate group that outrightly opposes that. I advise the Bishops too to ban offertory collections and tithe offerings, since these are more dangerous than receiving Holy Communion. Bishops know how to restrict God, without restricting their own money. What of people who sit together in the churches and two priests who drink from the same chalice. Since they feel they dont have authority in fighting corruption against the govt except by giving communique, let them not make any rule on this. Priests and people who want to receive with their lips protruted can feel free in conscience to do that. After the Ebola scurge, let them also energetically fight corruptions as the spiritual leaders of the people.
