I would say that the "fact" that the consecrated host is now being surrounded by and eaten by mold and bacteria would tend to prove that it is not, "in fact", God.

How is airborne bacteria and its effect on the Host any different from the various fauna that attack the Host in our stomachs? Or, for that matter, your theory of attributing superpowers to the Host would make it indissolvable in normal water. But that's exactly the normal procedure for disposal that was being followed here.

Either you've discovered the Achille's heel of Catholic theology or your theory of the host being impervious to dissoution due to its divinity needs work.

What say you?

I say you are fooling yourself into believing that the wafer is physically anything other than a wafer.

I would normally say that this would be harmless in and of itself, but when you bow down before the wafer and worship it as God, then you have traversed the divide between true Christianity and idolatry.
