I can see I'll be waiting until the 12th of Never for you to produce something other than someone's recollection of what Sister Mary Agnes Lucia told them in Catholic grammar school about receiving communion.
Trust me, there is no "rule" saying "its a mortal sin to chew the Host". I've read moral theology books - that sin just is not discussed because it does not exist.
You will be amazed what you will learn. The fact is they did not leave when He gave the bread of life discourse
It was all one discourse. He talked about the bred of life and flesh and all that, they murmur, He says "hey what gives? this is the way its going to be", they leave.
Well let me turn it on you ..Why did they not leave right after the first bread teaching ?
It appears that they waited to here His whole teaching, and voice final objections, before leaving. Do you commonly walk out of the middle of a sermon during Sunday worship when a visiting preacher gives a sermon you disagree with?
BTW You really do need to know the REAL Catholic Church..you know the one with the Latin Mass..you have never learned the faith of the fathers..your ignorance of it shows all over the place.
Mom, I go to the Latin Mass every Sunday. Either Our Lady of Consolation at 2 pm in Tacony in Philadelphia or Mater Ecclesiae in Berlin, NJ at 11:30 am. In fact, I helped regularize the later group into the Church. Before that I attended Latin Mass every Sunday at St. Agnes (11 am) in New York City, before that Holy Trinity in Boston at 12 noon, before that St. Boniface at 11 am in Pittsburgh. Before that I was an Episcopalian. As you can see, I've always attended nearly exclusively the pre-Vatican II Tridentine Mass.
As usual in your hatred, you have no idea what you are talking about or how ignorantly insulting you are.
Keep it up. You are a poster child of ex-Catholic vitriol, stupidity, and hate. Like a big neon sign saying - "Watch Out! Don't Leave the Church or you'll end up like me!"
ashamed with your ignorance huh?:>)
One of those links was from a priest. See their were very many subtle changes over the years . Gnawing on Christ was just one of them

It was over because they left..
They left right after that without waiting for further teaching
Jhn 6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Then perhaps you need to ask some of the others about the history of chewing the host..In fact watch as they leave the altar..see how many are gnawing
