blueforce's Journal: Girl with disease denied communion

I try to be understanding and respectful of others beliefs but...

An 8-year-old girl who suffers from a rare digestive disorder and cannot eat wheat has had her first Holy Communion declared invalid because the wafer contained no wheat, violating Roman Catholic doctrine.

This defies all logic. It's 11th century praxis. Their desire to perpetuate a centuries-old doctrine with no adaptability to the knowledge of a modern world makes it irrelevant.

Do you Protest?

People have taken protest [everythingimportant.org] with the church before. Strong differences [newadvent.org] typically lead to the foundation of new churches.
