Yes, bit scary isn't it
But it's their choice

It's not the symbolism or the wine or wafers, it's the relationship with each other
It was never meant to be a ritual

Am I detecting an ex Catholic still believing Catholic doctrine?

Not ex Catholic - but I find Transubstantiation fascinating - god Eating....

I find it incredibly tupid but

Its their thing not mine

Sorry, whats so fascinating about people who believe that bread turns into flesh

They make decision based off tradition. There is an entire industry that makes these so they have to look out for the companies that they use. It's simply a matter of money if a company wants to make gluten free wafers they better cough up some doe to the Vatican

I think it's just an excuse to get drunk in church. At least with protestants they wait until after church.
