Summary
Just because the Eucharist wafer's significance is purely arational does not mean that others may treat it as insignificant.

Quote
"The arational nature of the symbolism that Catholics attribute to the eucharist does not mean that others should be able to violate those symbols with impunity." (John Pieret)

Interpretation
PZ's request is a violation of the rules of larger society, not just religious rules.
