Bishop Strickland: God will punish bishops for their silence while Pope Francis destroys the Church

You have said that it is "sacrilegious" for deacons and lay persons [i.e. extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion in extraordinary circumstances] to distribute Communion. Why do you condemn what the Church under St. John Paul II has officially permitted?

In the Bible, Jesus called Peter and Andrew and they immediately left their nets to follow him. At this point Jesus was still relatively anonymous, not having performed any public miracles. How did they recognize his authority and identity?

Why should only the priests distribute Communion? Why can't deacons distribute it? I also believe that only priests should be doing this, but I just want to know the rationale and some history behind this.

I know you’ve said that such action is a desecration. What does that mean? Does the Eucharist cease to be the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord? Is it “nullified” or “lessened” somehow?
