My guess is that TV writers would know better...BUT

I grew up in the South and knew nothing of Catholics.
In 1980, my best friend Greg had me film his wedding to Susan.. a Catholic girl.

It was the first time I had ever been in a Catholic Church.

I stepped inside and looked around for a place to put out my cigarette. There was a nice ashtray filled with water, so I extinguished my smoke and started setting up the camera.

It was only after I made a comment about all the "ashtrays" that I was informed that they were NOT ashtrays.

I'm sure whoever cleaned up that night must have figured a blasphemer had visited, but it was simply ignorance.

Before a show goes on the air, a number of writers, directors, producers and actors have been involved with the script. It is impossible for me to believe that NONE OF THEM had any idea what a communion host represents. Especially when one considers that hosts are also used by Episcopalians, Lutherans, Greek Orthodox and many other denominations.

Ooooh. That's what I might call "sub-optimal."
