I dunno, I can imagine the situation was kinda funny.
And it's not as if they had been using consecrated hosts in the filming.
"And it's not as if they had been using consecrated hosts in the filming."
The point is that the fellows in question - and the producers, by extension - acted as if a communion host was not worthy of any modicum of respect.
Let me rephrase that - they acted like it required some respect, but they weren't man enough to give that respect so they tried all these stunts.
It's more of the 'oh, look at those crazy Catholics and their funny piece of bread.'
Damn sure they wouldn't pull this gig with a yarmukle (say, using it as a frisbee), or an Islamic veil.
It used to be if the host fell on the floor, the priest had to clean the spot himself.
not remotely the point that the actual wafers were not consecrated, it is the lack of respect demonstrated. NO WAY they would do something like this with any other religion or interest group as the butt of it.
