OK, I’m over the edge of dorkiness here, but I found a cool site www.phatmass.com that has a bunch of great backgrounds to download. One is of a Monstrance w/the Eucharist in it. It’s a beautiful picture, but is it somehow disrespectful to use it as a background on my computer?

I need to chill out probably,

That does seem like a rather overwhelming image to have on a computer screen without the intendend purpose of proper worship. However, this may not be an abuse of the body of Christ if you are of the proper mind set.

We should remember that an image of the Eucharist is just that – an image. It is not really Christ, any more than an icon or a crucifix would be. And I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem with having an Icon as their background. So I don’t see why this would be any different.
