it was a post in another part of DU.

The nit-picking by the RCC about the composition of bread that supposedly gets turned into Jesus flesh really seemed strange to me. Surely, they cannot believe seriously that such a transformation takes place. They say they do, but I doubt very much that the Pope and his underlings actually believe it. It's a tool used to control followers.

"You must make the bread precisely this way, or you will go to Hell most certainly." If you give in to silliness like that, you will give in to more serious compromises.

That's my opinion, anyhow. I post such things in the Religion Group, because religious folk post there. Challenging religious doctrine is one of my life tasks.

And, no, there was no wheat flour in Jerusalem at that time.
