Re: NON BODY OF CHRIST CHEWING Catholics: GO BACK ME UP!
I wasn't catholic!
(my parents sent me to catholic school b/c they thought it was safer than the public school in our bad neighborhood. )
but it was a really old school fire and brimstone crazy school. my parents were nuts to send me there but we were agnostic at home! I was so conflicted as a little kid!
Okay, maybe it's because I'm not Christian, but it took me quite a while to understand what this post meant. Body of Christ, wha? Chewing what?
lol!
i vaguely remember something about this, but my understanding was that the goal was to not waste/drop even the tiniest morsel of baby jesus. once it was transubstantiated it was ALL JESUS ALL THE TIME. that was why the priest always wiped all the crumbs into his chalice! and why it was 'bad, real bad' if the hosts were dropped on the floor. like letting the American Flag touch the ground, but more serious.
therefore, i believe the nuns manhandled you for chewing jesus because they feared that if he was stuck in your teeth instead of in your gut, you would (eventually) brush him out and spit him into the sink. And that, young lady, would be a sin.
