"I quit eating in church."
I've looked it up in some idiom dictionaries but find no answer.
It will be highly appreciate if you would be kind enough to tell me what the sentence really means - literally or figurally.

With regards.

Roseate.
It's hard to say, Roseate, without more context. It might mean that he has stopped taking communion, the thin unleavened wafer of bread that some churches have. But that's only conjecture on my part.
