So, my wife used to be Catholic.

She has Celiac's disease, and can't eat wheat.

So she's "allergic" (technically 'intolerant,' not allergic, which is rhetorically entertaining) to the host.

But if the host actually becomes the body of Jesus, we have a problem.

-Either she's co-incidentally allergic to Jesus as well as wheat,

or

-It's wheat, and not Jesus after all. Thoughts?

I guess you could worm out of this by saying the host is wheat for a short time before it becomes Jesus, but then again, she doesn't really react to wheat unless it's introduced to her digestive system.

And another question...do you poop the indigestible bits of Jesus out later? Or is he wholly soluble?

Sorry for this thread, but we just had a conversation where she expressed a desire to go to a Mass while we're in Poland, just to see it for cultural reasons, and this came up. And I must, of course, refer it to you all.

I believe the phrase is "do this in remembrance of me."

I have 12 years of a Catholic education. I am NOT Catholic..... Great education, crappy theology....Its like calling a priest "Father".

Mathew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

I have a huge problem with many of the Catholic churches doctrine...Just my own opinion.

Jesus has got to be old by now. Goddamn, that must taste like that rotten shark they eat in Iceland...

Another question: How many times can you take communion before you end up with Jesus's cock in your mouth? Because that would make you gay, and we all know how that group of pederasts in dresses feel about that...
