I'm not trying to start a flame war, but if someone can "preconsecrate" the hosts, then why not just stock up on these things? Is there is a time limit on how long the "preconsecration" will last?

Bread gets stale; old stale bread gets moldy.

I have held reserved sacrament for months and it didn’t even get stale. I kept it in a usually-sealed container, but it was opened every now and again. Still, after a few months, having checked it for mold and staleness, I consumed it, just to be sure. It’s a good idea not to keep the sacrament for much more than a month or two.

But it’s skin from Jesus, so how can it be “bread?”
