Catholic Denial of Transubstantiation

Catholic Denial of Transubstantiation
Posted by: Nelson Turner in Uncategorized

Gluten is admitted to remain in the Eucharistic host by Catholics, and in so doing they have denied de facto that any “transubstantiation” of the element into the whole humanity and Divinity of Christ takes place. A brief web search of the words “gluten,” and “Catholic” will reveal that communion wafer makers have created a new, low-gluten wafer which has been developed for use in both Catholic and Anglican communions. These low gluten wafers will not sicken most gluten intolerant communicants. This overthrows the whole notion of the wafer being turned into the literal body of Christ during the Mass, and is a tacit, self-condemning admission by both the clergy and laity that they are religious liars. The wafer must contain gluten and be of wheat, but the amount of gluten can be reduced to such a level that a most Catholic partakers who have the allergy will not take ill. If a gluten allergic communicant could be sickened by the gluten, then the wafer is still composed of wheat, and has not been changed into “the body of Christ.” To avoid potential lawsuits from gluten intolerant people, some Catholic parishes have offered the Cup instead of the wafer to communicants. So much for the infallible doctrine for which many of our brethren were burned at the stake for denying.

“Chapter III
THE PROPER CELEBRATION OF MASS

1. The Matter of the Most Holy Eucharist
[48.] The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat, and recently made so that there is no danger of decomposition.123 It follows therefore that bread made from another substance, even if it is grain, or if it is mixed with another substance different from wheat to such an extent that it would not commonly be considered wheat bread, does not constitute valid matter for confecting the Sacrifice and the Eucharistic Sacrament.124 It is a grave abuse to introduce other substances, such as fruit or sugar or honey, into the bread for confecting the Eucharist. Hosts should obviously be made by those who are not only distinguished by their integrity, but also skilled in making them and furnished with suitable tools.125″
