I am not catholic but my wife and kids are. We never partake in drinking from the community cup, but many do. The consensus according to other Catholics is that it's somewhat protected from disease as it's pure and the blood of Christ. This decision seems to indicate or at least cast doubt from someone I would think is pretty high up that the blood is not safe from disease.
And yes, full disclosure, my family are all science majors and we absolutely Understand how germs are spread, but that's not what this is about. To us, It's about the idea that the church seems to have doubts as well and also that they can change stuff as they feel it fit and it's totally cool.
What are the thoughts on this?? I do not post here hardly ever but I thought this was relevant and worth seeing other thoughts.
