BTW... that “cracker” is more efficacious for restraining sin than a lifetime of bible study.

Actually, the cracker is half of a simple reminder of what Christ did for us. The birth, death and resurrection as payment for our sins. Sin restraining, on the otherhand, is a matter for each individual. It is not the purpose of communion.
On a side note, my young niece was not quite old enough to take communion during one mass but she went up anyway. Afterward her mom scolded her and asked why she did it. Her response: “Heloooo, I was hungry!”.
Throwing everyone in solitary confinement with nothing but Pat Boone records would be a pretty good sin restrainer, but it is not a good thing.
