Jimmy Akin noted a news report from Catholic News Service (available here) about Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion purifying vessels. In America, this has been illegitimate since March 22, 2005 when the three-year indult expired. One bishop (actually noticed this and) asked for an extension of the indult. The Pope said NO, shutting down part of what I think is a movement of Americanism. How will the American Church possibly tolerate this trespass on the rights of the faithful? Hopefully, this will help to clarify the mission of the laity to those in denial and get us back on track to a true renewal of the Liturgy.
N.B. The Indult that expired in 2005 is available as the third and fourth letters in the preface to the Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion Under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America.
