I was just browsing this thread when I noticed the following:
If you know that this is happening, please write to your Bishop immediately about this abuse of the Holy Eucharist.
This is a serious sacrilege - whether or not the drain is a sacrarium: “Anyone, therefore, who acts contrary to these norms, for example casting the sacred species into the sacrarium or in an unworthy place or on the ground, incurs the penalties laid down. Furthermore all will remember that once the distribution of Holy Communion during the celebration of Mass has been completed, the prescriptions of the Roman Missal are to be observed, and in particular, whatever may remain of the Blood of Christ must be entirely and immediately consumed by the Priest or by another minister, according to the norms, while the consecrated hosts that are left are to be consumed by the Priest at the altar or carried to the place for the reservation of the Eucharist.” (Redemptionis Sacramentum, 107).I wish he would…the other EMHCs are very disrespectful with their handling of the cup after communion. Some of them race into the sacristy and dump the remains down the drain (which is not a sacraraium).
