Yipes! An Abuse?

[CatholicCrusader]

"I hate needing EMs. I very rarely will take Communion where there are EMs, because I invariably sit on the side the EM distributes to. My distaste boils down to 'I don't know where they've been.' I honestly can't tell whether this person is for abortion or what. Are they even in a state of grace to receive the Eucharist themselves?
More Deacons, I says! "

Just get in the Priest's line... that is what I used to do when I used to go to Novus Ordo... besides, I don't think an EM would know what to do if I came up and kneeled...

well thank goodness that our Arlington is ok over here.

One time I did get in the priest's line, but I had to walk around the Church and I got in people's way. I was flustered and couldn't really concentrate.
I enjoy the Communion rail at St. Benedict's...very orderly, priest just moves on down the line.

At the parish I used to attend, where I was a EM, we did this sometimes. We tried to avoid leaving the Precious Blood on the table, but sometimes there was too much to consume right there with the limited amount of people. Immeadieatly after Mass all of the EMs went over and consumed it. The problem for us was more personal limits (I'm only 5'2", so consuming 1/2 a glass of wine is not a good idea, esp when I'll be driving and I'm underage). And I know it's not 'wine' it's the Blood of Christ, but when my mouth got warm after drinking it...
