So couldn’t this problem be easily solved if all had to receive by mouth and not by hand?

A good point—it proves that the presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a fact and even Satan would acknowledge that.

If you have a reoccurring problem at you parish, I would suggest you contact your local Knight of Columbus council. You would easily get volunteers to guard against sacrilege at Mass.

You would think that the fact that Satan has no problem believing in the Real Presence it would be a wake up call for not only we Catholics, but protestants too. You don’t ever hear about the crackers and grape juice getting stolen for satanic rituals.
Some priest I was listening to on the radio made that point. They call it a black mass for a reason. The satanic groups know the Eucharist is the real deal. They don’t mimic with sacrilege the “service” of protestants.

I think a big cause of this is that there are too many in the pews that are ignorant of their own faith or are lukewarm and could care less what happens on the Altar.

Absolutely correct!
I went to a talk given by the Austrailian apologist Raymond de Souza in Chicago a couple of years ago. He told a story of how he witnessed a woman pretend to consume the Host while at Mass in South Africa.Being knowledgeable about satanism and such, he approached this woman and said “Don’t I know you from somewhere?”. She said no, but then he said what he had heard to be “code” for these types, “Don’t I know you from San Francisco”? Apparently north of SF is some sort of large satanic area.
She knew what he meant and they started talking. He got to ask her why she did it, she said that “they” tell her to take them and give the Hosts to them. He asked who “they” were and she said she didn’t know, she never saw “them” just heard their voices.
I can’t remember if he was able to rescue the Host but he did report what he learned to the priest.
Told the story to explain that these people don’t bother any other denomination that has the “Lord’s Supper”. They want consecrated Catholic Hosts for the obvious reason.

Indeed - it was for this reason that reception on the tongue was introduced over 1000 years ago. It seems that “enlightened modern " man is just the same as 'benighted medieval” man.

I have never seen or heard of these offenses in my parish at home or school, but I’m sure you all are aware of the recent problem with the Eucharist being sold on e-bay. I recently began receiving only on the tongue, and I have an Episcopalian friend who was actually shocked when I told him we received the Eucharist from EMHCs and not only Priests or Deacons. In my humble opinion it should not only become mandatory to receive on the tongue, but we should eliminate EMHC’s. So what if the line is longer, you are receiving Christ, its worth the wait. This would make communion lines slower and allow the Priest or parishoners to keep a closer guard against sacrilege. Sacraments don’t need to move quickly, maybe a little extra time for meditation would help some people realize how important what they are doing is. I understand that with the priest shortage, this may not be practical, but it would be ideal in my opinion.
PS I remember when I was receiving First Holy Communion our principal, a S.C.C., told us that we could not chew the host. I still remember her saying in her thick Brooklyn accent, “How would you like if someone chewed on your finger?!” I always wondered if this was something everyone was taught or just a personal belief of hers.

I was taught this as well. I was taught by Polish nuns both in Poland and here and that is what she told me to do. I have never chewed the Host.

When reception on the tongue was common, Satanists would use some common phamaceutical products to temporarily stop the salivary glands. They simply retained the host in their mouths until they had departed the church.

I’ve heard it’s to try to digest as much of the Host as possible, otherwise some bits and pieces may stick on your teeth and get mixed with regular food and such.

I’m not sure I understand your reasoning.
What could a Satanist or even Satan himself do to a host if Jesus is really present? How can Jesus be held hostage?
Perhaps the reason that people are not trying to steal bread, crackers, or other groceries is because they recognize that by and large Protestants view the communion elements as representative of Jesus rather than Jesus Himself.

That is the point. The satanist believes that their black mass will be valid with a consecrated host. But of course, they are powerless against God.

This is why it is a problem that there is no communion rails anymore. It leaves open the possibility of abusing the Sacrament.

It is my understanding that this was an innovation introduced at or as a by-product of Vatican II.

Me and my wife attended a mass at Saint Andrew’s Church in NYC. One of the Eucharistic Ministers was a woman dressed like a prostitute. She kept touching the hosts all throughout the mass. Her hands were filthy, she was dressed shabbily in street clothes and she kept giving nasty dirty looks towards my wife.
We walked out during Communion. We did not want to receive from such an unholy person. She looked like she was putting spells on the Eucharist. It was a real disgrace. This grown woman also did the altar server and lecture functions.
