Atticus,
I think that's one of the best arguments against the wheat-wafer-is-a-must! It makes so much sense logically. (Remember I said that I was doing Devil's Advocate...your argument is a great one for the other side of the story!)

But I'm sure that the Vatican will pull out some antiquated rulesbook and negate it, somehow. They will argue that because it's "always been done this way" that it always MUST be done that way. Do you think they would need a Vatican Council to change the wheat rule? (It seems like so much work...too much work- to make a change!)

I have to admit that I always balked mentally at the idea of transubstantiation. I much prefer to think of it as a spiritual acceptance of Christ's body. I wish the Church would change that...they work so slowly to keep up with modern thoughts!

To me, it really seems that some of the things they fight against (female priests, priests getting married, birth control, gay marriage, etc.) as 'weakening' the Church would only make it stronger. They could modernize without hurting the core of the belief system...they'd only need to change some of the trappings.

I really do worry about the future of the Catholic church.

Thanks for responding!
JenStar
