I am the OP, and I know of a cleric who implements the practice. And, I find it suspicious. This is why I ask. The cleric is a rigorist/legalist when it comes to the 1945 liturgy. But, he finds no problem doing this. And, I have never heard of this or seen it done elsewhere. The only time I recall something like it was when the fake sister lucia kissed JP2's hand after she received holy communion in Rome.
