| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Communion Under Both Kinds |
 | | Not only, therefore, is Communion under both kinds not obligatory on the faithful, but the chalice is strictly forbidden by ecclesiastical law to any but the celebrating priest. | | | Were one to insist that Christ's action in administering Holy Communion under both kinds to the Apostles at the Last Supper was intended to lay down a law for all future recipients, he should for the same reason insist that several other temporary and accidental circumstances connected with the first celebration of the Eucharist (e.g. | | | It is abundantly clear from this brief survey of disciplinary variations during the first twelve centuries that church never regarded Communion under both kinds as a matter of Divine precept. |

| | Vatican announces new communion wafer designs |
| | The new wafers are expected to tempt lapsed Catholics back to church, to sample the new and interesting ways of communing with their deity, and the wafers will be advertised on billboards near churches offering them, to raise awareness and hopefully bring in the casually religious among the general public. | | | In an attempt to broaden the appeal of the Catholic Church and encourage more people to partake of Holy Communion, the Vatican has released details of several new Communion Wafers, to be used alongside the traditional Host. | | | Commentators have said that "if this new wafer doesn't halt the decline in church attendance and perceived irrelevance of religion in modern life, then I don't know what will". |

But I digress a little, and again, rather than criticizing the Catholic church, I do have one practical suggestion for this family. |

| | If I attend communion during the week, usually the paten is not placed at the back of the church, so I then find the priest before the service and give her my "wafer" so it will be with the others. | | | That way also, if we have a visiting priest I can explain the situation to him, and because the communion wafer is so different to the usual round ones, in shape as well as substance, he cannot get confused. | | | Her parish priest suggested that celiacs obtain a pix and place their communion wafer in it. |

| | The Archdiocese of Boston has told the family that the church cannot substitute a rice communion wafer for the traditional wheat one, citing 2,000 years of tradition and faith. | | | The Richardson family now worships at a Methodist church, where the rules on communion are more flexible because Methodists believe the bread and wine are symbolic, not the actual transubstantiated body and blood of Jesus. | | | And now, because of Roman Catholic Church rules, she can't have part of her First Communion rite, either. |

| | For Catholics, that Communion wafer literally is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. | | | Priests are human, not divine, to be sure, but they do represent Jesus, they do know the difference between a Communion wafer and a cracker, and they don't swear when they receive Communion. | | | The Catholic League, a faithful watchdog, reported that during the episode two non-Catholics were mistakenly given Holy Communion at a Catholic funeral Mass and could not figure out a suitable way to deal with the situation. |

| | So the church then presents this young girl and her parents with a very difficult decision, remain in the church of birth and not take communion, remain in the church of birth and take communion and be sick, or leave the church. | | | If the rights of the church are found to be subordinate to that of the parishioner, then the state will have, in effect, established a religion, because it will have dictated the terms of religious practice of a church. | | | After the church's pastor refused to allow a substitute, a priest at a nearby parish volunteered to offer one, and in May, Haley wore a white Communion dress, and received the sacrament alongside her mother, who had not taken Communion since she herself was diagnosed with the disease. |
