The documents you cite make it clear what is the mind of the Church. Reception under both kinds has almost become the norm in England. One cathedral church I know has lately taken to consecrating no fewer than five chalices at its Sung Mass although the take-up is barely 50%. It does, however, provide employment for four EMs, and I am convinced it was introduced for this reason alone. I doubt if anyone asked for it; the music (Latin plainchant and polyphony)tends to attract liturgical conservatives, and I've noticed that those from ethnic minorities rarely take the chalice.<br /><br />In continental Europe reception under both kinds is far less common.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.com
