Of course we should always show reverence whenever we receive communion. But, fall flat on your face? Did the apostles fall flat on their face when they saw the Resurrected Jesus?
I certainly believe in the real presence and much of that belief is reinforced by the numerous documented Eucharistic miracles. I would have asked that Mormon if he actually believed that his underwear was divine and if he did why did he not fall flat on his face in front of his underwear?

Christ had not yet ascended to heaven and was not yet glorified. He is now.
Depends on where you go to mass. Some of the hispanics at our latin extraordinary form mass have the sweet tradition of not turning their back on our Lord when they go to receive Communion, they walk backwards to their pew. At another mass I attended recently a hispanic woman walked on her knees up the main aisle until she got to her pew at the beginning of mass, another sweet tradition from south of the border.
