7 rules for receiving communion in the hand

Related questions
How do I receive Holy Communion? The choice is yours. As the person in front of you is receiving Holy Communion, bow your head as a sign of reverence. If you are receiving the Host in your hand, extend both hands palms up toward the Priest/Eucharistic Minister, placing one hand directly on top of the other hand.
Can I receive Communion on the tongue or in my hand? In the United States, we have the option of receiving Communion on the tongue or in our hand. We also can receive standing or kneeling. This is our own personal decision and the individual distributing Communion cannot compel us toward one method or another.
Why should a lay person receive communion in the hand? Any emergency justifies that the privilege be extended to a lay person because emergencies do not imply a lack of respect for the holy body of Christ. This aside, there is no reason for receiving Communion in the hand; only an immanent spirit of paltry familiarity with our Lord.
Can a bishop give a person permission to receive communion? This was the law of the Church for almost 14 centuries, and is still the general norm today. However, in 1969 Pope Paul VI allowed an exception: individual bishops can give permission to their people to receive Communion in the hand if it does not lead to any loss of reverence.
