So, am I to conclude that being a trad means that even when the pope does something you approve of, you have to find some way to be annoyed by it? Glad to be a lowly semi-trad then...

CITH is an exception to the rule, allowed if particular episcopal conferences request it and the Pope approves it.

The Pope is leading by example instead of by force. Reception of Communion in the hand is not intrinsically evil or sacrilegious as it was practiced in the ancient Church, even if it was not the majority practice. If CITH is intrinsically sacrilegious or evil then the Church defected long ago. Same with allowing the laity to receive Communion under both kinds. However, the Pope believes that communion on the tongue kneeling is a better practice.

As for communion placed by the pope on the tongues of the faithful, kneeling – during his recent visit to Santa Maria di Leuca and Brindisi – Marini affirms that this will become "a regular practice at papal celebrations." And he continues:

«In this regard, it must not be forgotten that the distribution of communion in the hand remains, from the juridical point of view, a dispensation from the universal law, conceded by the Holy See to the bishops' conferences that have asked for it. The practice adopted by Benedict XVI tends to emphasize the continued validity of the norm for the whole Church. In addition, one might also note a preference for the use of this manner of distribution which, without taking anything away from the other, better highlights the truth of the real presence in the Eucharist, aids the devotion of the faithful, and makes it easier to enter into the sense of mystery. In our time, pastorally speaking, it is urgent to recover and emphasize these aspects.

Your quote says "without taking anything away from the other." The Pope refers to a "preference". Therefore BXVI does not think it is "better" objectively. It is merely a personal preference. Therefore will the Bishop follow the personal preference of every Pope? Legitimate question.

Also even if CITH was previously allowed by the Church (which is debatable) it was not done as is done today. It was a much more careful and detailed reception. Today patens are not even used and particles of Our Lord fall to the floor regularly to be trampled underfoot, which, last I checked, is a sacrilege.

Communion in the hand is a Calvinist novelty.

Some of the content in forum alone is sufficient evidence for the claim.

Modernist means whatever you want it to mean when you put on your polyester red beanie and start pontificating.
