Title
Guidelines on Sacraments and Pastoral Care
-
Description
These guidelines were issued and updated by the Thomistic Institute, a Catholic academic group based in Washington, D.C., and their Working Group on Infectious Disease Protocols for Sacraments & Pastoral Care . The document continued to respond to the evolving COIVD-19 health crisis that dictated the style and size of masses across the United States. Among other changes, and in contrast to the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions, the Thomistic Institute believed that priests could resume the placing of communion on the parishioner's tongue.
