A worrying trend surrounding Eucharistic practice

There is note is on a table in the Catholic church in Dublin’s Harrington Street.

It seems something is going on among a number of people within the Catholic Church that is difficult to understand.

The note reads: FOR GREATER REVERENCE FOR THE BLESSED SACRAMENT, HOLD THE CLOTH UNDERNEATH YOUR CHIN WHEN RECEIVING. 

It’s titled: THE COMMUNION CLOTHS

It’s puzzling and worrying.

Being flippant, what happens if the cloth is not clean?

What sort of understanding is this about the Eucharist?

Will there be a bishop who will have open discussion about this?
