Outrage over disrespect of the Eucharist in Costa Rica

The girlfriend of Otto Guevara, formerly a candidate in Costa Rica's presidential race, stirred up public opinion when she consumed half of the Host at Communion during Mass on election day, and placed the other half of the Host in Mr. Guevara's pocket.

Ugh, look at her haughty gait and deceitful gaze. This isn't just an example of sacrilege against Our Lord but an example of how an evil person looks, walks, talks, "eats", dresses, etc.

"The attire of the body and the laughter of the teeth and the gait of the man

show what he is." (Eccles 19:27)

"The face is a witness of the thoughts and is a silent interpreter of the heart. The outward appearance is often a sign of the conscience and the unspoken words of the mind.” St. Ambrose

This girl is ignorant and arrogant.

We can only defeat the Enemy, who lies to mankind and thrives in his ignorance, through Love and Truth, not with wrath and vindictiveness.

WHy on earth was she given the Eucharist when she didn't have her hands in proper form? I never recommend communion by the hands but this woman showed utter lack of respect and if your loved one is disrespected, we should show outage! If The muslims are outage at a caricature of Mohammed, how much more for us who knows Jesus is being nailed again on the cross by the irreverent manner He was being treated. Remember we attack the actions of this woman and not her as a person! Fraternal correction

Please educate me.this is one of the 5 things as a catholic I don't understand and no one can really give me a good reason except that it's not allowed.If i think about it even Judas ate of the bread and drank of the wine, yet as Catholics we don't let others share in Holy Sacrament because they don't believe?Judas didn't believe yet he shared also?look at all the comments every one judges for God and no one says lets pray for her and us for our sins...that's right keep casting your stones

This is so sad :(

[malixpek]

the priest's fault for not putting the host in her mouth, the girl eats the Body as if it was a cookie.

Communion in the hand departs radically from Catholic Tradition as expressed in the teachings of the popes, the writings of the saints, and the councils of the Church. To understand why Mother Teresa of Calcutta could declare that Communion in the hand gave her the greatest sadness, Father John Hardon, S.J., writes, "Behind Communion in the hand --I wish to repeat and make as plain as I can-- is a weakening, a conscious, a deliberate weakening of faith in the Real Presence."

I am outrage, somebody should have told her that this is not acceptable in the Catholic Church, this is the Body of Christ, if she didn't behave according to our beliefs, somebody should have told the candidate to give back the rest of the consecrated Host.

Did she think it was a snack?
