As to dipping, I suppose I've seen priests use more buoyant bread or a different design of spoon because I can easily image the part of the spoon above the bowl coming into contact with a communicants lip and that part of the spoon not be fully immersed.
as a priest, and having held the cloth for other priests before, I can say I have never seen the spoon go in and not be submerged. even the most boyand particles still force the spoon to go into the Blood to lift them out, and get excess Blood to stay in the Chalice.
