We were at Mass on Christmas Eve one year and the helpers as I call them stood on the altar after Communion and were getting ready to return the hosts. Well, a few of them stood there and ate one after another like it was a friggin box of candy. Pardon my language but... I was infuriated and instead of leaving Mass fulfilled instead...I was FILLED with anger. I could not imagine ... it was like they were eating the “leftovers.” Disgusts me to the core even to this day and it has been many years.

When I was a young man (before Vatican II sold out the Church), I was an altar boy. One of the positions as an altar boy was to hold the paten under the chin of anyone receiving communion, because if there was even a particle of the host that fell off the priest's fingers, we altar boys had to catch it, and then we'd let the priest (and only the priest) put the particles into his wine chalice for his consumption only.

Now, my point is, if the Host and all its particles were to be revered that much, then why, now, can they be grabbed, handled, sneezed on, dropped, etc.? Either the Host is GOD or it isn't. What happened?

And since the Church is still letting Pelosi, etc., receive Holy Communion even though they believe in the DAILY wholesale slaughter of 3,300 harmless, defenseless, little unborn and newly born babies, then WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
