What should we do if we suspect a priest or a Catholic Church is under influence of evil attack or occult or witchcraft who often find target at priests and churches? Should we avoid the church when it is suspected there are satanic or witchcraft practisers infiltrating into the churches? Holy communion received from priests less holy at heart or do not fully practice Catholic teaching would be less recommended?

These are pretty serious accusations that you are talking about here. And for serious issues as such, we must be serious both in engaging the qualified authorities to investigate before pronouncing judgement, as well as in scrupulously avoiding wrongful accusations and gossips. Satan of course is always after our leaders. Some leaders unfortunately did falter abd have brought great scandals to many. Satan can equally create confusion among us. And woe to us if we become divided and wrongfully bring down our pastors, who are standing in Jesus’ place for our sake, or a place of worship, which is where God dwells.

I was recently told by a Catholic friend that we shouldn’t receive holy communion by hand, and should only receive directly on our tongue. Reasons being only priests’ hands are consecrated, if we receive by hand, traces of small particles of Jesus’ body will be on our hands. Moreover, the likelihood of dropping the bread is higher if we receive it by hands. Could you share what is the Catholic history and teaching on this? Are there certain groups of Catholics who were taught differently?
