How can you tell if the priests in a parish accept communion on the tongue?
I know it’s said that believers have the right to choose to receive Communion on the tongue. But even so, many priests remain stubborn and publicly show their aversion to the practice.
Three weeks ago, I wanted to receive Communion on the tongue as usual, and there was this one priest there whom I rarely see. When I went up to the altar and knelt to receive Communion on the tongue, he tried to get me to take the Host in my hands, but I refused because I take this very seriously. In the end, he gave in and then said in front of everyone, “That’s just disgusting and unpleasant.” And I didn’t really know what to say because I was so shocked but also angry at the same time. Since then, I haven’t wanted to receive Communion anymore because it was just so traumatic for me, and I don’t want to go through something so humiliating again.
I just don't know what to do anymore, how am I even supposed to know how priests feel about receiving Communion on the tongue? It's not like they're wearing a sign that says, “I don't like giving Communion on the tongue!”
Are there people here who’ve had personal experience with this? Is this just the cross I have to bear, going to Mass knowing I might be humiliated again? I find the thought very unpleasant, receiving Communion on the tongue from a priest who is inwardly disgusted by it.
