"This is from the Diocese of Pittsburg: "• Mishaps: If a particle of the Eucharistic bread should fall, it is picked up reverently and consumed or allowed to dissolve completely in water and then poured into the sacrarium. If any of the Precious Blood spills, the area of the spill should be covered if necessary. As soon as possible, the spot should be washed and the water poured into the sacrarium."
It sounds like maybe they didn't handle it right. One I remember happened when the priest had doubts; another happened when the altar was wood, can't remember about some of the others I've read about.
I hope this doesn’t sound ignorant, but is there anything wrong with a wooden altar?
The next paragraph reads:
On January 7, 2009 a sample from the host was sent to the University in Bialystok for analysis. According to two medical professionals, professor Maria Sobaniec-Lotowska and professor Stanislaw Sulkowski, the sample, in their opinion, most resembled the myocardial (heart) tissue of a living organism.
Improper handling? Even after 10 days in water, the host did not dissolve.
I didn't know that. That explains "wyjęto z wody", "taken from the water". Thanks.
