Maybe you are not aware but for Catholics we believe that IS Jesus. The One and only. It is not merely a symbol. It IS His Body.
Not treating the Host with the reverence you would show Jesus face to face is a serious mistake since they are one in the same. This IS the King of kings. This IS the Son of God. Here is The Messiah.
Same with serious Episcopalians (yes, there are some of us).

Sorry Gopher, my King and Savior is not a cookie! And when I take communion I do so in rememberance of what HE did for me. I take great offense to the fact there is a religion out there called christian who believes they can turn my Savior into something they can EAT.
So I guess we can just ALL get on the offended bandwagon can't we? Why should your offense be anymore important than mine?
again with your transubstantiation voodoo and the capitalization of host, again watch for idolatry.
