This is a question about an incident that happened involving two friends of mine, one Catholic, the other a non-religious person (I'll call them C and NR for short). C invited NR to the church one Sunday, and NR had never been to a Catholic church before. Apparently C forgot to tell NR that he was not supposed to join the communion line.
So NR goes in the communion line. He told me he had no idea he wasn't supposed to be there, but once he had actually gotten the wafer he had figured it out. So he didn't eat the wafer, and then when he got back to the pew he stuck it in his shoe (don't ask me why).
Now after the service, NR pulls the wafer out of his shoe and asks C what they should do with it. C's decision was to eat it. Was this the right decision, in your opinion?
