If you are a Catholic, it is transformed into the actual Body of Christ during the Mass, so you just let it melt, no chewing! Other Christian faiths regard the wafer as a symbol of the body of Christ, so I guess a chew or two is okay.
Peace be with you!

It's sinful to chew the host - you need to let it melt.

Let it melt. I was raised not to chew so it still stands 38 years later!

Both. I give it a couple of chomps and then let it melt as I'm walking down the row back to my pew.
Do you have him put it in your hand or right into your mouth?

It doesnt matter if you chew it, let it melt or inhale the thing.
The point is the Symbolism.

I don't really chew it, they basically just kinda melt right onto your tongue.
He puts it into my hands.
Then you thank God for everything He's done for you! =)

I was taught to let it dissolve, but sometimes (when you don't have a lot of saliva) you do have to give it a little help.
