It's primarily in the global north that Catholics consider themselves entitled to Communion. In Latin America you see long confessional lines and short Communion lines because there, people have reverence for the Eucharist and won't receive it when they aren't properly disposed to do so.

This is true. I was visiting a poor community in mexico. The only recipients of the eucharist were young virgin girls and a couple of blue hairs maybe 10% of the old ladies in attendance). My host put his hand on my arm and shook his head no when he saw that i expected to get in line.

I thought i understood reverence for the eucharist (catholic school). I didnt have a clue.
