Let me add this is not exclusively a Catholic issue. Even in Churches that don't believe transubstantiation consider the Eucharist as a potent symbol of their faith. A baptist would no sooner treat a communion wafer disrespectfully then they would play hockey with a cross.

Yeah I agree. Deliberate sacreligious disrespect towards a religion that does not wish you any ill is often accompanied by a disrespect for other forms of authority. The driving motive behind the UCF student who started all of this wasn’t just to show the Eucharist to a friend who had questions; he also wants to defund all religious clubs on campus in direct violation of the US constitution. His disrespectful “activism” has ramifications for all Christian clubs at UCF, including ones that I was a member of only 4 years ago.
