Is it impolite to put your finger in your mouth and wedge it off or should you just do the best you can with your tongue? Chewing it isn't an option I would choose, so please answer with that in mind.

I have this problem too!!! And it bothers me to see people chomping on the host as well!!!! I wouldn't wedge it off with a finger, because if the host should pop out of your mouth, then you would have to go to the floor and eat it off of the floor, just like a pooch. I just end up letting it dissolve. Don't forget that there is the option of washing it down with the wine. I personally don't, but it might help if you don't have any other objections to using it. Happy Mass!

If ypur not washed in the BLOOD of Jesus you shouldn't be taking communian. Paul spoke of people dying prematurly because of that same thing.
What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you their is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask an athiest How the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy and every star, also the ones still forming. Ask how the earth has one set speed it to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiest just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Where did the Ocean come from then?. Also ask them to get an empty glass and set it up in their house and go back to the glass 20 or 30 years or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it scares them. Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it. I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. All in all the athiests have to many questians to explain themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I lose nothing but if there is and I've argued to people he isn't then I would lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God?

Probably best to use your tongue if need be. Yes, it tends to stick to the roof of my mouth too, but I never use my finger. I won't even let the priest place the Eucharist in my hand; I take it orally. I don't want to risk even the smallest piece falling to the floor or getting wiped on my clothes. I don't chew it either, because I don't want pieces of Him stuck between my teeth. I wait until it has softened enough and then I swallow it whole.

Use your tongue until you get back to your seat. When you kneel to pray, bow your head down low and give it a prod with your finger.
The body of Christ is a little like peanut butter that way.
Good Luck!

lol. I know the feeling. However, I think you are supposed to just let it dissolve in your mouth. the wine usually washes it down. but I think removing it with your finger would be a little inappropriate.

take an extra big drink of that bloody covenant darlin! Wash the body down with the blood!
Sounds like a horror flick. Wow, Christianity is beastly.

The spiritual blood and body of Christ do not stick to the roof of your mouth - they stick with your soul!

Hmm now there is an interesting question indeed. Perhaps trying with your tongue is first option, but at your seat the finger works very well.......smiles.......

LOL You aren't supposed to shove it up into the roof of your mouth. IT is supposed to DISSOLVE on your tongue! I suppose you could CHEW it so that no one else noticed! LOL

What an interesting new dimension to the age-old spit versus swallow debate.
