Advantages in distributing communion under both kinds by intinction- By "intinction" I mean the process described in 2002 GIRM 287. The minister of communion dips the consecrated host into the wine, holds it up saying "The body and blood of Christ". The person receiving communion holds a communion plate beneath their chin and when they say "Amen" the consecrated host is placed on the person's tongue.

Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist- The officer of administering communion belongs first to priests, then to deacons, and, in some cases, to acolytes. The Holy See can grant permission for some other suitable person to carry out this office. Those who have not been appointed must not distribute communion or carry the Blessed Sacrament.
