The Bishop Who Asked the Pope to Stop Communion in the Hand
Estonia
Kazakh auxiliary Bishop Athanasius Schneider has visited Estonia on December 10 for the publication of his book “Dominus est” in Estonian language. In his book he defends the traditional way of receiving Holy Communion. During the presentation he explained that the present form of distributing communion has nothing to do with the practice of receiving communion in the early centuries. The new way was adapted in 1965 by some liberal Dutch priests from the Calvinists. Schneider’s book has been praised by the Holy Father. The bishop also revealed that he had asked Benedict to stop distributing Communion in the hand in Papal Masses. The answer was supportive. Only a few months later, all communicants have been asked to receive Holy Communion from the Pope only kneeling and on the tongue.

This Bishop Schneider must be a pretty strong personality if the Pope listens to him... very interesting 
The video with the Pope's visit in the hospice is very touching. i think he should do this more often. Just to go to the simple people and bring them God
