Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik has "banned" the use of communion rails. Fact is, he has no authority to do so.
Zubik has already "forbidden" celebrating toward the Lord.
His arbitrary action came to light when Father Chris Donley of Epiphany Parish in Pittsburgh wrote to his parishioners in a recent letter (published by DC Rosary Rally for the Latin Mass, November 9) that “we can no longer use the communion rail for reception of the Eucharist.”
Zubik has asked the priest "to unite" with other parishes in the diocese. Donley put a good face on the matter, “While changing the way we receive Communion is hard and has saddened us, we can continue to have beautiful encounters in our reception of the Lord in unity with our diocese”, he writes.
