I have never been comfortable with outdoor Masses, for fear that blowing wind will blow particles from the host off the paten.
I don't even like to see fans blowing in the sanctuary for the same reason.
If you look at this Fr. Hewko video I found of an outdoor Mass, and scroll along the bottom of the video time from left to right, you can see the antependium, altar linens, and even his maniple blowing in the wind:

It makes me worry for the particles of host on the paten.
Is this worry unfounded?
Anyone have a resource regarding Church teaching on outdoor Masses?
PS: Though I have profound differences with Fr. Hewko, I am not making any accusation against him here. I know the SSPX seminary in Winona also frequently had priests say outdoor Masses at the little grotto of Our Lady's altar, so the idea of outdoor Masses per se (in addition to all the pilgrimage Masses, etc.) must be fine. Just curious that nobody else ever seems concerned about blowing particles from the paten?
