I have never known until recently that in suburban America, a child's First Communion is followed by her/his sharing with her/his friends chocolate cross lollipops. I must confess that this is the greatest invention in the history of Christianity, the summation of all the historical, corporeal, and libidinal perversities in the public imagination and theological debate about this sacrament (or the making of it into one). Really, how can one imagine a better way to illustrate to your child the cross with the body of Christ as a historical and libidinal objet petit a?
