“The Christian faithful are to hold the Most Holy Eucharist in highest honour”
(Code of Canon Law, can. 898)
“Sacred ministers may not deny the Sacraments to those who seek them in a reasonable manner, are rightly disposed and are not prohibited by law from receiving them”.
(Code of Canon Law, can. 843 §1)
“Hence any baptized Catholic who is not prevented by law must be admitted to Holy Communion. Therefore, it is not licit to deny Holy Communion to any of Christ’s faithful solely on the grounds, for example, that the person wishes to receive the Eucharist kneeling or standing.”
(Redemptionis Sacramentum 91, 2004)
“Each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue at his choice.”
(Redemptionis Sacramentum 92, 2004)
“If there is a risk of profanation, then Holy Communion should not be given in the hand to the faithful”
(Redemptionis Sacramentum 92, 2004)
“Communicants should not be denied Holy Communion because they kneel.”
“The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand, at the discretion of each communicant.”
