a linen cloth.

Abuse of the Eucharist is a grave offense. I don’t even liek talking about it, as it makes me so uncomfortable.

However, this report come from a sincere person, but a non-Catholic attending her first Mass. Hopefully, there is more to the story. My sister (nwo passed away), who also has a son who is a priest, would go to Mass with her daughter (my niece) and, unable to approach by of ill health, her son simply gave his sister two hosts, for her and to take back to the pew for their mother.

Technically speaking, what you saw was a faux pax. That’s not the usual procedure.

what you saw is a mortal sin.

The Eucharist must be consumed immediately and completely. If a person has someone sick at home who needs the Eucharist the procedure is to call the Church, who will send someone to the home, or to request being commissioned as and extraordinary minister of the Eucharist so that you have the faculty of bringing communion to the sick. In both cases, the consecrated host, which is the Body of Christ, not a piece of bread, is placed in a little gold container called a pyx, so it may be reverently carried. the person should then leave the church directly, without speaking to anyone, go directly to the side of the sick person, administer communion according to the rite provided.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Our eye-witness is admittedly unreliable. I’m willing to believe that the woman in question was an Extraodinary Minister of Holy Communion who received the Eucharist in a pyx that the original poster couldn’t see.

That would seem to be the Christian assumption to make. While I am sure the OP was sincere, he also says he’s not Catholic and never before attended a Mass, right?
 
I was responding to the poster who called the incident a faux pas. Deliberate irreverance to the Eucharist, assuming what the original poster saw was described accurately, is a mortal sin, not an error in judgement or a social mistake.
