Well, I'm aware of the practice of eucharistic adoration, so I guess at some level I did know it. But I never really thought through the implications. Would you say that the consecrated host can legitimately be an object of latria?
I would guess so. But it gives birth to a complex conversation. If the host is actually Christ's body, then what is being worshiped is Christ and therefore ok. If it is not Christ's body (say for argument that it has not been consecrated), then the individual still believes he is worshiping Christ, not some piece of bread.
If I do something meritorious and say "Not I. but Christ in me has made this possible" then I am serious that Christ has done this thing, though I am still the physical participant. Those who adore the host adore Him who they believe is within the host. I suspect that this mean that the accidents are not worthy of either worship or adoration. So we are back to square one.
