As the RC church teaches the bread actually becomes the body of Christ, the bread is adored as the actual body of Christ. The bread is kept in a container (the sachristy)behind the altar which is in the centre of the church. Thus when any RC crosses the central aisle in the church they will bow towards the sachristy as the bread is kept there and thus Christ lives in the little box.
If you have ever seen the procession on the feast of Corpus Christi (on the Thursday following Trinty Sunday) where the host is paraded around the town then you will feel you have stepped into a time machine and landed back in the dark ages.
The adoration of the bread is just plain idolatry.
