Is this a Eucharistic sacrilege?

[Maryanne6279]

A friend who is a Eucharist Minister takes communion to her invalid husband every day. On the way home to her husband she will go food shopping, or breakfast with her friends or shopping. Jesus, in the pyx, is in her coat pocket. I told her church documents say that you must go directly to the person receiving communion. She asked a priest and a nun and they both told her I was wrong and that what she is doing is okay. Is it? If not where can I find “proof” of this abuse. Thanks for any help.

 

[Fr.Charles_Grondin]

Redemptionis Sacramentum:

[133.] A Priest or Deacon, or an extraordinary minister who takes the Most Holy Eucharist when an ordained minister is absent or impeded in order to administer it as Communion for a sick person, should go insofar as possible directly from the place where the Sacrament is reserved to the sick person’s home, leaving aside any profane business so that any danger of profanation may be avoided and the greatest reverence for the Body of Christ may be ensured.
