Bergoglio's World Yute Day in Rio:

The ciborium is an altar-vessel in which the consecrated particles for the Communion of the laity are kept. It need not necessarily be made of gold or silver, since the Roman Ritual (tit. cap. i, n. 5) merely prescribes that it be made ex solida decentique materia. It may even be made of copper provided it be gilt (Cong. Sac. Rit., 31 August, 1867). If made of any material other than gold, the inside of the cup must be gilt (Cong. Episc. et Reg., 26 July, 1588). It must not be made of ivory (ibid.) or glass (Cong. Sac. Rit., 30 January, 1880). Its base should be wide. its stem should have a knob, and it may be embellished and adorned like the chalice (vide supra). There should be a slight round elevation in the centre, at the bottom, in order to facilitate the taking out of the particles when only a few remain therein. The cover, which should fit tightly, may be of pyramidal or a ball shape, and should be surmounted by a cross. The ciborium ought to be at least seven inches high. The Catholic Encyclopedia.

It’s an interesting picture - more that you posted it than the picture itself.

And what does God record using inspired Words about how Christ conducted the Lord’s Supper when he initiated it for the first time?

Gilt? Copper? Shape? Cover? Height?

God didn’t consider it significant enough to describe that it was even in a container, let alone prescribe one. Nor does anyone in attendance worship the matzah bread nor the wine.

The focus was the bread and wine and symbolism. Not the container.

Bergoglio was not doing anything unScriptural in your picture.

Beyond that, it’s all made up later.
