Bishop Strickland’s Warning to the USCCB!

Mother Miriam Live - November 13th, 2024 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.

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.
