I like this bishop. He understands the indult to allow people to receive communion in the hand. The bishop makes a great point that no one is out to show irreverence to the Eucharist. I think it's important to always be charitable with people. When discussing with someone about receiving on the tongue, it's important to remember that not only are they not intending to be irreverent, but they also have the Vatican's indult on their side.
This bishop is very charitable, but very firm in his resolve to educate his flock about Christ's presence in the Eucharist.

Intolerance in the name of 'tolerance'?

Yeah, it happens all the time. People, the "open minded" and the "all accepting" to be specific, seem to try and find people being intolerant. In this case, a Baptist preacher was arrested for saying that homosexual acts are a sin. Dale Mcalpine says that he stated to someone and to a gay police officer that he believed that the act of homosexuality is a sin. He says that once he climbed up a latter and began preaching, he did not mention homosexuality. He is charged with speaking abusive or insulting words or behaviour contrary to the Public Order Act 1986. Mcalpine has preached outdoors for years, but has never been in trouble with the law before. You can find a newspaper article about it here.

The Legionaries of Christ have supported their founder, Father Marcial Maciel, for years as accusations were brought against him of sexual abuse. He was accused of sexual abuse of seminarians, and it was later discovered that Fr. Maciel fathered a child. Up to that point, the Legionaries of Christ and their lay organization Regnum Christi defended their founder against what they thought was another liberal attack on the Church.
