In this Youtube video we hear Cardinal Arinze affirming the rights of the laity to receive communion kneeling down on the tongue. This is a subject that is particularly dear to me, as I remember all too well the trouble I had doing so in my teenage years. I had been told that this was forbidden on the spurious grounds that 'the mass is a meal and the Eucharist is a sign of unity, so everyone should receive it standing in their hands.' If only Rome had spoken out fifteen years ago, it would have save me a great deal!
