Good question. I have been to hundreds of masses (every week when I was little and in Catholic high school) and I can honestly say I've never seen it happen. Weird. I'd guess that they would just wipe it up...or maybe that's where the generally-useless altar boys come in.
Hmm....
I, also, have never seen it happen, but surely there has been a heart attack, seizure, trip, etc where everything hit the floor.
They go to great lengths to catch all the crumbs and every drop of wine, so certainly there is a protocol if there is disaster.
John and I have conferred on this question. We think that, in a disaster, one must lick up the spilled elements.
John backs up this answer with a story about Martin Luther who, before the Reformation when he was a new priest, was so nervous that he spilled the wine during the prayer of Institution and had to lick it up.
But then, Luther's situation wasn't quite a disaster in the sense of a seizure, or heart attack. I think back to Oscar Romero who was shot and killed while administering the elements. I don't know what they did in that case.
Erin, tell your hubby I need him to do some research! For now the conclusion is: lick it up.
Somehow that sounds a bit flawed. ;)
Licking probably works for the blood.. But what about the body? Maybe he'll have to snort that.
Oh my Micah.
