What do non-Catholics do with the "leftovers" from their Eucharist or Lord's Supper?

Then why did you ask your question?

I’ve never noticed lip balm or lipstick on the chalice.

I think I would find sharing the chalice in general rather distasteful. In watching communion (I’m not Catholic so I can only observe) I notice there are others who opt not to partake of that species.

I think that has more to do with their belief in concomitance.
I’m not aware of there ever being a spreading of illness via the chalice.

Not sure how we’d know, though.

The recent outbreak of Legionnaires in Asheville, NC was easily traced to The Mountain State Fair. I think it could be determined rather easily.
That said, when I’m sick, I do intinction as a courtesy

Does your parish allow you to do self-intinction? The Church doesn’t permit that. There is nothing “wrong” with it, that’s just the present discipline.

 

[GKMotley]

Me either. The clergy distributing the consecrated elements uses a purificator to wipe the rim after each person receives.Unless reception was by intinction.

By choice, depending on the parish.

And I think that is true across traditions that offer the chalice.

There is no licit “choice” in the matter:

The Rite Questions: What is “Intinction,” and is it Allowed?

To-wit:

The priest celebrant or concelebrants may also receive by way of intinction, where the priest himself dips the host into the Precious Blood and self-communicates (GIRM 249). Deacons and the lay faithful, however, may never intinct the host themselves and then receive: “The communicant must not be permitted to intinct the host himself in the chalice, nor to receive the intincted host in the hand” ( Redemptionis Sacramentum 104).

The US Bishops also emphasize this point: “The communicant, including the extraordinary minister, is never allowed to self-communicate, even by means of intinction. Communion under either form, bread or wine, must always be given by an ordinary or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion” ( Norms 50).

I’m not Catholic in communion with the Pope.

According to the linked Washington Post article, the American Medical Association says there is no risk, while the Center for Disease Control says there may be a slight risk. As a germaphobe, I just couldn’t bring myself to risk it.

IDK, my wife 100% skips the chalice not because of beliefs but rather not to “share the same cup with everyone”.

 

[HomeschoolDad]

There is no licit “choice” in the matter:

Sorry, I didn’t know that. Clearly the guidelines I cited apply only to Catholics of the Roman (Latin) Rite.

If we admit the liceity of communion in the hand, I don’t see how self-intinction is any different. It’s not the hill I would choose to die on.

Increased risk of a drop of Blood falling, I suppose.

 

[HomeschoolDad]

There is no licit “choice” in the matter:

Could be. I would recommend communion with a paten or houseling-cloth underneath to deal with issues such as this.

And I know this isn’t well-received in some circles, but these problems didn’t exist when people received kneeling, on the tongue, only the Host, from a priest. I do not recall ever serving an OF Mass where the priest intincted and I held the paten, but I’ve served many, many Masses and I may have. In that the priest only has two hands, a bowl-like tray for the hosts, with a small shallow cup in the middle, is the most practical way to intinct.

UGH…just UGH.

 

[mcq72]

Why is the word “merely” such an important word for you folks to employ when describing a symbolic Lord’s Supper? Exchange the word “merely” with “reverently” and you would have a more realistic snapshot.

Lets not hold back, or be as bold as capitalizers…substitute “merely” with “correctly”.

 

[mcq72]

In extension then, for Protestants to worship something not sacred, is idolatry. That’s why they have to say, for them, it’s merely a symbol

Is that like saying the elements have to be changed, to “Real Presence”, because otherwise your worship would be idolatrous?

 

[mcq72]

The celebrant usually finishes the wine

I am wondering if more than a few have been taken in and become alcohol dependent.
