Sitting 3rd row in Mass, the priest lifts the Host and my son shouts, “HE’S GOT A TORTILLA!” Another Sunday, another week the priest hasn’t banned us for life.
It’s a very specific thing for Catholics and they make sure you’re thoroughly educated in the beliefs and share the same beliefs. We teach the communion host is the literary body of Christ, so a person should understand every part of that covenant before they partake.

Some priests might just remind you not to do it while others may become angry, if they see what you did as disrespecting the literal body of Christ.

It’s also because of our long history of persecution. Before you become a full member and partake of communion you must understand and agree to all the conditions, like possible martyrdom. They don’t want anyone to be unprepared.
