Host desecration : ウィキペディア英語版 | Host desecration
Host desecration is a form of sacrilege in Christianity (most frequently identified as such in the traditions of Anglicanism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, and Catholicism) involving the mistreatment or malicious use of a consecrated host—the sacred bread used in the Eucharistic service or Mass. In Catholicism, where the host is held to have become the body of Jesus Christ, host desecration is among the gravest of sins. Intentional host desecration is not only a mortal sin but also incurs the penalty of excommunication latae sententiae. Throughout history, a number of groups have been accused of desecrating the Eucharist, often with grave consequences due to the spiritual importance of the consecrated host. ==Overview== Accusations against Jews were a common pretext for massacres and expulsions throughout the Middle Ages in Europe.〔("Desecration of the Host", Jewish Encyclopedia, retrieved 7 May 2007 )〕 Similar accusations were made in witchcraft trials; witch-hunter's guides such as the Malleus Maleficarum refer to hosts as being objects of desecration by witches.〔Summers, Montague, ed. ''The Malleus Maleficarum of Kramer and Sprenger'', 1948. Originally in Latin, Germany, 1487. e.g. ''Part II, Question I, Chapter IV:"...they are bound to observe certain other abominable ceremonies at the command of the devils, such as to spit on the ground at the Elevation of the Host."''〕 It is part of many descriptions of the Black Mass, both in ostensibly historical works and in fiction.〔See the studies by: Rhodes, H.T.F. ''The Satanic Mass'', 1954 and Zacharias, Gerhard ''The Satanic Cult'', 1980.〕
