tkgs - This was somewhat of a hurried thread, and I started it to learn if they actually consume consecrated hosts. The only situation I could conceive is as you said; he consecrates many hosts, so that he may consume, yet have some remaining to desecrate. Still, I find it so strange that a satanic priest would consume a host. But, I guess it is not so strange, Judas received communion, and then immediately betrayed Christ.
