"I thought it was called the Monstrance"

No, you thought it was called a "thingy". A Monstrance (Ostensorium) does not hold consecrated hosts. You really ought to do a little actual research on Catholicism and the Catholic Church on which to base your criticisms. Right now you just look like an ignorant doofus.

Neighborhood churches promote worship of the Eucharist through annual feasts involving the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Typically, a large host, a CONSECRATED BREAD WAFER, is placed in a glass receptacle. This is then mounted in the center of an ornate gold vessel called a MONSTRANCE, which resembles a sunburst, and is placed on an altare for the faithful to adore. In predominantly Catholic countries, a priest may also carry the monstrance through the streets of the parish in solemn procession. [1378]. James G. McCarthy, The Gospel According to Rome.

>>A Monstrance (Ostensorium) does not hold consecrated hosts.<<

Riiiiiiggggghhhhhttt.

Ostensorium means, in accordance with its etymology, a vessel designed for the more convenient exhibition of some object of piety. Both the name ostensorium and the kindred word monstrance (monstrancia, from monstrare) were originally applied to all kinds of vessels of goldsmith's or silversmith's work in which glass, crystal, etc. were so employed as to allow the contents to be readily distinguished, whether the object thus honoured were the Sacred Host itself or only the relic of some saint.

Maybe you should. I already had.
