A Waterford priest has criticised as selfish the behaviour of Catholics who demand Communion on the tongue despite Covid-19 restrictions. While the number making such demands was “not huge, reports were fairly consistent from parishes across the country”, he said. Fr Power referred to an incident in a Waterford church recently. “In neither of these incidents was any concern shown by the protesters for the health and safety of others. Priests and other communicants could have been exposed to Covid infection,” Fr Power said.
