Bishop Robert Morlino of the Diocese of Madison (WI) has asked the faithful in his diocese to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and while kneeling. He wishes to have this transition accomplished by next autumn. I haven't heard any talk of this, but I don't see how this can be accomplished without the restoration of the communion rails.
Bishop Morlino has also increased usage of the ad orientem position and he has returned the tabernacles to front and center of the altar.
This good bishop is to be thanked and emulated. I believe the Latin phrase goes like this (forgive any misspellings): lex credenti, lex orandi, lex vivendi. We are not going to have any real return to the Faith until the Mass is restored. Bishop Morlino has taken important steps. I hope and pray that many more bishops will follow his lead.
