We should all pray about this. There is definitely a different role for differences regarding practice, doctrine and dogma. I would add devotion to these three.
And the Dogma I am speaking of here is obedience to the Church.
When the Church instructs as to
1) what is to be done in the Mass, and
2) tells us then that the ordering of the Mass belongs to the Apostolic See and then that
3) no one else may add anything to the Mass,
we are bound to obey Her by the dogmatic Teaching of the Church on OBEDIENCE.
This is in a nutshell what I have been saying and which others have been arguing with this piece or that piece drawing focus on one aspect of what I have been saying into hyperfocus.
The issue is we are bound to obey the Church.
The Church has said no one may add to the Mass.
Despite all the arguments against this, the Vatican has said that it is something that was
ALREADY CLEAR according to the law of the Church that those who are not allowed to receive communion are not allowed to approach communion or receive a blessing:
"for others who are not to be admitted to Holy Communion in accord with the norm of law,the Church's discipline has already made clear that they should not approach Holy Communion nor receive a blessing."
What needs to be prayed for is an obedient heart that will willingly submit to the laws of the Church in obedience as a child docily submits to its mother instead of looking for ways around them because we think the way we want to do something is better than the Apostolic See gives us to do things.
This is what needs to be focused on.
We can readily see this with regard to differences between the Latin and Eastern Rites. Catholics have often had this discussion with regard to married priests, which is, of course, an issue of a difference in discipline in the Latin Rite (subject to exception).
And we are bound to OBEDIENCE to which ever rite we are under, etc.
The issue is OBEDIENCE.
Just because a different rite does something differently than the Latin rite does, does not give us any license to change what we have been given to do in our rite.
That license does not belong to us. It does not belong to the parish priest. It does not even belong to the Bishop.
It belongs to the Apostolic See.
Why do we think we can usurp the priviledges and authority of the Apostolic See, even with the VERY BEST of intentions (though they be misguided) to order the Mass how we see fit?
This is the issue.
It all comes down to Obedience.
There is no room for differences in dogma. It is only for us to understand and assent. The situation is different for theological opinion (doctrine), practice and devotion. At least, the situation should be different.
And you make my point for me. There is no room for differences in domga.
It is dogma of the Church we submit in obedience to Her.
It all comes down to obedience.
Vatican 1
Fourth Session - Chapter 3
2.
Wherefore we teach and declare that, by divine ordinance, the Roman Church possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power over every other Church, and that this
jurisdictional power of the Roman Pontiff is both episcopal and immediate.
Both clergy and faithful, of whatever rite and dignity, both singly and collectively, are
bound to submit to this power by the duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience, and this not only in matters concerning faith and morals,
but also in those which regard the discipline and government of the Church throughout the world.
In this way, by unity with the Roman pontiff in communion and in profession of the same faith , the church of Christ becomes one flock under one supreme shepherd [50].
This is the teaching of the catholic truth, and no one can depart from it without endangering his faith and salvation

This is the issue.
The dogmatic teaching of the Church on obedience.
And this is at the heart of the discussion/debate about going up for a blessing during communion is about.
The promotion of going up for a blessing at communion is simpy a symptom of a much bigger issue.
An issue with Obedience.
