(LifeSiteNews) In a May 19 letter to priests within the diocese of St. Cloud, Minnesota, Bishop Donald J. Kettler wrote to “strongly encourage that only vaccinated individuals – including priests – distribute Holy Communion.”
In addition to advising a restriction of the administration of Holy Communion to vaccinated priests and laymen, the bishop has promulgated a rule whereby separate queues must be clearly established for those receiving Holy Communion on the tongue and those who wish to take the Eucharist with their fingers, “in the interests of safety.”
