SkinWalker Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Originally posted by Kurgan I have a mild allergy to wheat, and (being Catholic) I take the wine when I go to communion. However at times I take the bread (especially if I'm at a parish who doesn't provide the wine or runs out due to poor planning). They don't plan on refills? j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiroki Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Glad I am not Catholic...I'd hate to go to hell because of weakness to alcohol and wheat. Born again > Catholic, just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Originally posted by SkinWalker They don't plan on refills? j/k We got a new priest at our parish here in Bettendorf, IA recently, and he grossly underestimated the number of people who showed up for 5pm Sunday Mass (yes, all of us non-morning people, woo, we rule, anyway), and the wine ran out pretty fast. A few weeks ago in fact, we were down to ONE communion wafer and there were still dozens of people in line, so Father had to break it up into tiny bits so nobody went away empty handed. IIRC, one of our Deacons who was there made a little joke about it the next Sunday, basically saying "take it easy, he's new." So yes, people make mistakes all the time. Granted, I don't know honestly how hard it is to get more bread on short notice (I'm told that the nuns make it), but as for wine, it might be as simple as sending somebody down to the liquor store, grabbing some grape wine (white or red, I've seen both used), blessing it and we're set. Of course this all assumes you can find someplace open on a Sunday evening. Anyway, better planning...
