So, yes, this is old news, but I haven't seen it on here and I've been without internet on and off for the last week (and crazy busy for over a month before that). Apparently gluten-free bread does not constitute acceptable communion food. GMOs are okay. But making a form of bread without gluten, no. This seems kind of dubious to me. I mean, I've never read a verse in the Bible that insists on gluten in communion. And that would mean the God who allowed certain people to have celiac disease would be mandating them to eat harmful food products(contradicting other verses which indicate people should value and take care of their bodies) or saying they couldn't take communion. But, hey, I suppose that commandment's found next to the verse where we're commanded to worship saints (another verse my Bible seems to be missing; I should get a refund!)

Hey, Catholics know bread. Especially the Trappists of the Scourmont Abbey.

There were major allegations he had sexual relations with children but was swept under the rug by the mainstream media. Not to mention it was said he possibly impregnated a woman and she mysteriously passed away. Dude is just wicked. Theres no telling how many wicked things he does behind closed doors unreported

If that was true or even just rumored to be true the media would be all over it. The media has zero sympathy for catholics or protestants. They are all fair game to them. The only exceptions are jews (because they own mainstream media) and muslims.

That may be tru for Catholics but the Pope himself is a different story everything for the most part is presented positive by the media. Instead of him pardoning priest who commited child abuse which says alot.

"Honor all men." ""For with the same judgment you judge you will be judged." '
The commandment not to judge doesn't mean not to call people out when they're doing wrong. Otherwise, we'd need to say murderers and rapists may be right, despite the Bible condemning these people to death. John the Baptist called the Pharisees a brood of vipers. Nathan pointed out to David his sin when he slept with (possibly raped) Bathsheba and murdered her husband. The Pope claims to be infallible; he has the final say in the Roman Catholic church, and those who disagree with him violate church doctrine. He studies the Bible and has access to resources that the average person can never even hope to know exist. Yet, he leads a huge amount of the world's population into sin by declaring things that go against the Bible to be righteous and inventing sins.

Matthew 18:6, ""If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

PS. 7:11.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

11:5-6.
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His Soul hates.

Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.

26:5.
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

97.10.
You that love The LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of His saints;
He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

PRO. 3:33.
The curse of The LORD is in the house of the wicked: but He blesseth the habitation of the just.

17:15.
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,
even they both are abomination to The LORD.

ECC. 29:27.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way
is abomination to the wicked.

11PETER 3:17.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away
with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

The real argument is leavened bread or unleavened bread. The Jews use unleavened bread in the Saddar but do Christians use leavened bread since sin atonement has been made?

If you argue transubstantiation then the priest is responsible for making the bread into the actual body of Christ. So it could be cannibal or not cannibal all gluten aside.
