QUAERITUR: removing gloves before Communion in the hand

Posted on 11 January 2010 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

From a reader:

One question:  does any document specifically state one must remove gloves prior to receiving on the hand?  I have always taught this to be the case as I was taught, but presently cannot find a citation to rest the case with those who disagree. 

I don’t think there is a document that states that you must remove gum from your mouth before receiving either.

If you are wearing gloves, for the love of God, receive on the tongue!  Or take them off?

Is this hard?
