It is clear that he did not consume the Host. I am sure he didn't want to flush It down a toilet, give It to a duck, stab It, or use It in Satanic worship. I still don't think that he consumed it, though. Edited July 9, 2009 by Resurrexi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 [quote name='Resurrexi' post='1915046' date='Jul 8 2009, 10:39 PM'] I'm pretty sure that most who know even a little about Catholicism know that communicants are to consume the Host. (He should not have been a communicant in the first place, though).[/quote] Well I think he consumed the Host... so there we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Harper is way too boring to be into satanic worship. Besides if he was in league with Satan, he'd have gotten a majority government in the last election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, we can only reiterate our beliefs and protocol on the matter and should take this as a learning opportunity. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/hans+zimmer+%26+james+newton+howard/track/a+dark+knight+(album+version)"]Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - A Dark Knight (Album Version)[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just watched the video. He probably didn't consume it on camera, however, that doesn't mean that one if his advisors didn't jab him afterwards and say "you consume that or someone is going to burn you at the stake!"

However, he certainly did not consume the Host immediately after the priest gave the Host to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacredheartandbloodofjesus Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well first of all it looks like the guy before him was looking awfully suspicious before recieving i.e looking over at Harper like 5 times. Then Harper only recieved with one hand very irreverently. And looks like he hides it behind his program that was in his other hand the whole time. He should not have recieved this is outrageous. This is Our Lord were talking about. This is another prime example of why communion in the hand should be reconsidered. But woe unto the ones whom scandal come through. He should not have even been given our lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Maybe he acted the way he did because he was caught off guard. It's possible that he was told that he wouldn't be offered Communion, and got confused when he was, and panicked. There's too many what-ifs to assume this was intentional, and I respect him more than most politicians, so I'm continuing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

A serious one? Yes. Honest though, which indicates no lack of respect. Anyone can make an honest mistake. We could blame his advisors for doing a poor job, or we can criticize a snap judgement on his part, but at the end of the day, anyone can make an honest mistake.

Have you never done that? Considering the lack of awareness there is even among Catholics, that's not all that surprising. I'll bet your average cradle Catholic doesn't have a clear understanding that a non-Catholic can under no circumstances recieve the Eucharist.
