I didn't think that the theological or spiritual ramifications of this posting rise to the threshold of requiring the "Religion" checkbox.


Vatican: 'Body of Christ' can't be gluten-free

I'm not a Catholic, but I like to keep an eye out for Vatican-related news. It can be surprising. I didn't see this one coming.

But perhaps the most interesting aspect of this story isn't the answer, but the question itself. Who would ask such a question, and what do they do if they don't like this ruling?

The end of this brief report presents something of a "counterpoint"..? Some cognitive dissonance here?

For those people who can't drink [Communion] wine, they can [substitute] mustum: a thick, non-fermented grape juice.


I don't know if there is a solid consensus across the medical community that "gluten allergy" is a diagnosable and physical (rather than a psychosomatic) condition.

But I've not been looking into it.

I never heard of Jesus turning water into umm.... mustum: a thick, non-fermented grape juice.

It's funny how people can accept religion, but only the parts that suit their needs, and disregard the rest. I always thought it was a all or nothing package.

One could never have a wafer at all and not have any issues with God.

I didn't realize Styrofoam contained gluten.

Actually our priest made this announcement a couple of weeks ago. My wife is a Euchrist minister and we didn't know if was an option.

I was raised in the Southern Baptist church, down in Florida. Baptists, at least in the churches I attended, were not real big on pomp and ceremony. There are really only two practices that could be considered ceremonious; full immersion baptism and communion, and those are nothing more than symbolism. They have no real power.

So, from my perspective, it shouldn't matter if it is Koolaid and Melba toast.

Anyway, I always thought communion bordered on symbolic cannibalism.

Having grown up in a strict Catholic home, I can tell ya I dont care WHAT they put in it (or take out of it), it is STILL going to taste like a mix between drywall and Styrofoam. No WONDER they drink the wine after that. GOT to get rid of the taste somehow.

Please don't, I had to deal with those dumb asses growing up.

Why don't you take just one Mormon with you camping.?.? Because he will drink all your beer and smoke all your cigarettes. Why do you take two Mormons camping.?.? So they don't drink all your beer and smoke all your cigarettes.

It's the latest fad--gluten "toxicity".
All natural, non-gmo, antibiotic free, gluten free, free range, certified organic bread and crackers is the only way to go...
