How to shoot yourself in the foot lessons.

By the Vatican.
As if those arseholes didn't have enough real issues to contend with.
Quote:The unleavened bread used to celebrate the holy communion during Catholic masses can be made with genetically modified organisms, the Vatican said Saturday, but they cannot be entirely gluten-free.
So gluten, which is natural, is banned, but GMS's which are unnatural are not?
Quote:Roman Catholics believe bread and wine served at the Eucharist are converted into the body and blood of Christ through a process known as transubstantiation.

I love this. I mean how many Catholics are aware this is what they are supposed to believe? I expect, hope? that on finding out, a number of them will say 'fuckit, enough of this bollocks I'm out of it'.
It seems every proclamation by those daft bastards in Rome invites ridicule.
Quote:A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. The cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
The moral? When you're in the shit keep fucking quiet.
Edit, I made a balls of that, but fuck it. Any mockery of the church is good, and wholesome.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Jesus wasn't a celiac, that's for sure . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think the catholic church has taken the position that their Hosties must be made from wheat and contain gluten.
Ah, gluten, the protein that binds transubstantiation from wheat to jesus. catholics gettin all sciency with it.
BTW, there's a very good chance the original last supper bread was not made from wheat. Oops, there goes the science.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Quote:About half of those polled (52%) say, incorrectly, that Catholicism teaches that the bread and wine used for Communion are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus. Just four-in-ten people correctly answer that, according to the Catholic Church, the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. Even many Catholics are unaware of their church’s teaching on this topic; while 55% of Catholics get the question right, more than four-in-ten Catholics (41%) say the church teaches that the bread and wine are symbols of Christ’s body and blood, and 3% say they do not know what the church’s teaching is. Still, Catholics perform better on this question than does any other religious group.
Most chtistians don't know what they believe, or why they are supposed believe it.

Pretty sure that the Catholic church doesn't consider parishioners who don't believe every jot and tittle of Catholic dogma to be Catholics. Could be wrong on that, though.
Pretty sure it would take one of those infallible papal decrees to change that, and as far as I am aware, that's not happened since the Council of Trent.
Apparently, not all Catholics are up on their catechism. Big surprise.

And to think these people used to slaughter each other over precisely such nonsense.
It's nice to see that fewer and fewer of them can even be bothered to find out what they are "supposed" to believe. From Cultural Christianity to outright don't-give-a-fuck disbelief is little more than a generational step.

Big red herring.
Quote:All of them, actually.
You said all of them. My point, which is amply illustrated in the link, is that 'Most' Catholics don't have the remotest idea of what they believe. Again, how many of 'all of them' have ever heard of the Council of Trent?
eta, spelling.

So gluten, which is natural, is banned, but GMS's which are unnatural are not? Based on the above, I would say if something is not entirely gluten-free, then gluten isn't banned. It still has gluten in it.
