We were just stupid kids. Like I said, I was told it was no different than eating a piece of bread. After all, they did store them in what looked like a garbage bag to me.
I was just ten years old...don’t know how much experience you have with ten year old boys, but in my experience that isn’t too far off.
If I am fortunate enough to find my way into the presence of God when I leave this earth, I would like to think I would get the equivalent of a smirk when this comes up.
Anyway, didn’t mean to hijack your thread. My apologies.
You were of the age of reason, and an altar boy.
Whoever told you that what you did was OK, was wrong.
You were old enough to know how to simulate the Consecration. And you did it.
I truly don’t think you’ll get a smirk at your Final Judgement.
