(1) Special hosts “quibus glutinum ablatum est” (that are gluten-free) are invalid matter for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.(2) Low-gluten hosts are valid matter, provided that they contain the amount of gluten sufficient to obtain the confection of bread, that there is no addition of foreign materials and that the procedure for making such hosts is not such as to alter the nature of the substance of the bread. 11

Official word: The body of Christ is not and cannot be gluten-free. "If you are Catholic, what if you are allergic to the body of Christ? The answer may be hard to swallow." http://shar.es/xNedw

I'm Wesleyan, my church has gluten free communion bread.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, the Presbyterians just cut regular sliced white bread into cubes and dumped it in a brass dish.
ReplyDeleteDone.
We do that too, only with gluten free bread since a few years ago when someone in the congregation mentioned it was a problem for them.
ReplyDeleteWow. I am glad they sorted that out. I was genuinely concerned. ; )
ReplyDelete"Can never be?" BS. The church has made far more drastic shifts in church stances via papal decree.
ReplyDeleteJesse Butler I'm positive they consulted the proper tomes and oracles to reach their conclusion.
ReplyDeleteWell, the main argument is that it should already be gluten-free via the miracle of transubstantiation. I feel sorry for any gluten intolerant Catholics out there. My wife is allergic to wheat, and I can tell you it is a real thing. Just a small amount of cross contamination gives her a violent reaction.
ReplyDelete"Cross contamination" : )
