I also thought of a Pez dispenser...I still like the idea of a slingshot, or maybe a trebuchet which moves laterally on the altar rail at traditional churches, while a modern church would have train rails built into floor. With those, the parishoners WILL learn to not move their head.
Fr. Fox, doesn't it seem disrespectful of Our Lord to place His Body in a mechanical contraption and click Him out, like a glorified change dispenser?
I don't know, but the whole concept is just appalling to me.
And what do you do, load this from a ciborium, and reload during Communion if you run out? Do you have numerous of these and have the hosts in them already on the altar for consecration? Do you place these in the tabernacle for reserved hosts?
Same as the foil sealed plastic cups with grape juice and bonus enclosed holy communion cracker, I see this gizmo more oriented to protestant churches which distribute communion.
Can also see the person in charge of these in a back room, reloading magazines, while coughing and sneezing to beat the band.
And likely only a gizmo for the healthiest and strongest to operate for very long, and even then, quite a few carpal tunnel claims with much use. If not a blue collar worker already, that device will not work for many who are tasked with distibution.
Meant to add, that for $99, it appears every bit as sturdy and long lived as a dollar store dart gun. Made from the finest Venezuelan crude extruded polyvinyl.
Fr. Fox, I reread your comment and I think I misunderstood what you said. You actually said it might be useful for quick counting of hosts for Mass, but not for distribution.
Thanks for your support. Too bad, "you know who" is given free rein to peddle his snark, but you are not allowed to respond to his snark with snark. Sad that he is a priest. I feel for his congregation
What an interesting comment for a conservative Catholic blog. Even the liberals show more respect for each other. Perhaps all this conservative conversation is just a farce.....you may know your Latin Rights...but you don't reflect Jesus Christ.
What about the particles of Our Lord? Something like this might make sacrilege even more prevalent Here is a good video to put some perspective on communion in the hand...

Uh....no.
(Kind of like a liturgical Pez candy dispenser. Don't know if everyone knows what a Pez dispenser is. Google it.)
God bless.

Yes...none of us are perceptive enough to know what a Pez dispenser is....except maybe TJM....
The Pez dispenser is DEAD. Oh well....
Pez has been around forever!
Does it come with an instructional video? 🎥👎😲
The Church is getting sillier and sillier.

If you needed to count out a certain number of hosts BEFORE Mass, this could be useful. But otherwise, I think it would be a bad idea.
I wonder if they make a dispenser that can count out 3 large hosts and 2 small hosts for those days of concelebration with two servers :/

Wow, such snark...and so early in the morning! You must be a joy to live with.
Actually, I was thinking of all the viewers from Turkmenistan and outside the U.S. who may not know what Pez is. Not too U.S.-centric, are you?
Maybe have a cup of coffee and say your morning prayers before you get online. We'd all be grateful.
God bless.

Truth hurts...especially first thing in the morning..
Responding to the snark complaint:
Take the log out of your own eye first. You reap what you sow.
I guess I am the odd one out. When I saw the pictures, the first thing I thought of was "Necco Wafers!"
I LOVE Necco wafers!
And " snark" is only acceptable when the complaining party is the one perpetrating it!
Anonymous K,
In your case, the log is stuck up your keister
🐝 Ye Kind...

What a farce,
LOL - you must be deaf, dumb, and blind not to recognize the vitriol coming from Anonymous K
