Distributing Communion at Mass for 50,00 People

I didn't think it was even possible, distributing Holy Communion to 50,000 people at the DC Mass. I thought there would be concerns about some idjit  pocketing the host and trying to sell it on ebay.  But they did it and they'll do it again in NYC on Sunday.  It didn't even seem to really take that long at the DC Mass, they had some 300 priests and deacons giving out communion.  I found it interesting in the DC Mass that people were taking communion in a variety of ways, in the hands, on the tongue, some bowing first, some kneeling.  A few women wore veils or a hat, most did not.  I have a feeling we'll see more veils in New York. 

Safety-conscious folks can check out this video about how communion will be distributed, even in the bleachers and steep upper deck.  I love the contrast between the speaker's New York accent and the Gregorian chant in the background.
