Gluten-Free Host A No-Go, Says Pope

[resister]

Jeez, whats the big deal, you only eat one a week for Christ's sake. (see what I did there) ?

I remember much before many changes to the catholic church. I dislike this pope immensely he should get out of politics and stick to what he is.

Every priest you talk to silently lets you know they think the same as I do.

Old guard certainly can't be happy. Unfortunately, it may mean Francis is replaced by a hardcore conservative Pope when the time comes.

But isn't the Pope being conservative with this directive, resisting change?

Nah, not really. Traditional, sure. The very small amount of gluten is not going to have much impact on people who are actually gluten intolerant (too many people claim to be, but aren't). People with the intolerance probably consume more gluten by accident via contaminated foods daily than they would with the wafer.

Just when I thought Pope Francis was the coolest liberal ever, he goes and $#@!s it all up with this bull$#@!. Boooo! lol

If you don't understand it, don't criticize it.

Probably because they're dicking the altar boys.

That's in really poor taste. You realize that the rate of incidents of religious sexual abuse was no more or no less in the RCC than in other faiths, right?

Why is a religious person not allowed to have and freely voice political opinions, regardless of leadership roles?

Because he is the "HOLY SEE" of the catholic church, not the "HOLY DEMOCRAT" there are those of all political persuasions within the catholic church and he has caused more divisiveness than any other in my lifetime. All Popes had opinions on world events within the scope of RELIGION and a "religious interpretation" not a liberal or conservative interpretation, this pope is mostly all political and very little religion.

So, you'd have the same criticism if he agreed with you on everything?

did the other faiths keep moving the pervs around so they'd have a fresh batch of victims?

Gluten or no they will always taste like packing peanuts to me. Catholics, go ahead and bite into one of those cellulose things and compare it to the taste of a host. I wish they gave Ritz crackers instead. I'd go to mass more often.
