What?

Upon getting to campus last week, I saw an image of hosts scattered across the front of the UCF newspaper with the title "Body of Controversy". Out of curiosity, I picked up a paper and began to read the article. The senator was impeached, and several letters to the editor were written about this whole ordeal.

Oh, also: it is NOT a "holy cracker".

Thoughts? I'm upset at the way both parties handled this. Mr. Cook should have referred his friend to a priest or Eucharistic minister if he had questions about the Eucharist; I am sure they would be more than happy to share their knowledge. As for the Catholic Campus Ministry people at the Mass, they should have asked his purpose in not consuming the sacrament. If he resisted answering, a request to return the host should suffice, to my mind. Going back in my Catholic school days, I remember there being a special sink in every church that leads directly to the ground, and this is considered a respectful way to bring leftover hosts to rest. That could have been done with the host in question.

I'm just irritated that such a spectacle was made of the Eucharist.
