CNA is running the story.
Here are a few tidbits:
The cardinal’s remarks came in response to a question on whether Catholics should receive Communion in the hand or on the tongue. He recommended that Catholics “receive Communion on the tongue and while kneeling.” Receiving Communion in this way, the cardinal continued, “is the sign of adoration that needs to be recovered. I think the entire Church needs to receive Communion while kneeling.”
The good Cardinal goes on to state the following when asked about liturgical abuse...
In response to a question about the liturgical abuses that often occur, Cardinal Canizares said they must be “corrected, especially through proper formation: formation for seminarians, for priests, for catechists, for all the Christian faithful.”
Sound catechetical instruction and formation is key.
Catechetical Foundations can help with that. Go check out them out. Maybe hire them and bring them to your parish to help rebuild and strengthen your Catechists and parish staff. More and more people are responding to the call to pass on the faith in all its rigor and vigor. Catechetical Foundations does some great work.
Lastly,I never thought I would live to see the day when a Cardinal from Rome, let alone the Prefect for the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, would publicly state that he thinks the "entire Church needs to receive Communion on the tongue while kneeling"

Mike,
this is great news. Thanks for including it. By the way, I would be interested in your thoughts on the new translation of the Roman Missal.
