Indeed, every time a catholic believer with celiac problems reacts to a jesus biscuit, it is demonstrable proof (LOL, and proof beyond anything the catholics have about any of their beliefs) that the catholic beliefs surrounding transubstantiation are false.
That the church poobahs nevertheless decree the biscuits still contain gluten regardless is really, really stupid if you think about it.
It's another religion 101 thing, don't keep rubbing believers nose in shit that disproves the faith. If transubstantiation were true, and realizing there is no recipe for jesus biscuits recorded in scripture, transubstantiation would work on anything ingested that the believer believed to be an authentic biscuit regardless of its composition.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
