   It’s natural, you know.

   There’s a big problem with Catholics, the Host and celiac sufferers, as well as those anaphalactically allergic to wheat. Such people cannot take communion or sacrament. Even the stroke of the Holy Wafer across their lips is enough to cause a reaction, and if they actually ate it, they would die in minutes.

   So what of the “miracle” of transubstantiation? How can a wafer be turned into Christ’s very body — if that wafer could kill Christ’s sheep? If the “miracle” were genuinely real, wouldn’t that be a non-issue?

   Gluten doesn’t equal flesh, and it’s gruesome to think otherwise.

   (Watch this space. I have more ad campaigns in mind for Holy Tost Eucharist, the next one playing on color — or toastiness, or level of blackness — and how God might like the different colors.)
