": a vessel in which the consecrated Host is exposed for the adoration of the faithful"

TABERNACLE: A receptacle for the consecrated elements of the Eucharist (Mirriam-Webster).

Your "proof" states; A Monstrance is a receptical for holding holy objects for display. A consecrated host is a holy object. Therefore all holy objects are consecrated hosts. No thanks, I'll stick to the Pontificale Romanum for my definitions and to real legitimate logic.
