I know it lacks the symbolic aspect of having the actual bread broken/wine poured and given out but I’m sure most people will understand. Yeah, we have done it twice within our own homes, given some guidance from our pastor on bread, and wine/grape juice as elements, etc, but some have been reluctant and get uncomfortable giving them and leading their families during this time. That option is one we may be able to implement on a temporary basis, and we can always put them all in a common container and pass them out in their individual wrappings/seals from there. Good call! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it's been a while since HS, but aren't there tons of restrictions on that? I thought you had to immediately consume it all right after (because we used to have a priest end up getting loaded once in a while if they overestimated the morning mass attendance). And I thought you had to use a specific supplier for the bread/juice, etc. etc. Also, isn't this the pope's job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Protestant, and one of the areas of where we differ from Roman Catholicism is in the literal interpretation of the “Body of Christ”. Catholicism says it’s literal, whereas we are figurative. Different denominations have certain stipulations (wine vs grape juice, wafers vs unleavened bread, etc, with some gluten free options for others). Also, no pope for us, albeit if you’re a Presbyterian you answer to a presbytary body for some decisions like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 @ramssuperbowl99 I’d like to point out how great of a job we’ve all done having a completely great conversation related to COVID and admirably toeing the line on forum rules, proving once again it can be done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low key though this whole conversation is a HS flashback. We unsuccessfully petitioned our cafeteria to start selling meat on Fridays during lent when I was a junior I think. The priests laughed before saying no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Protestant these days, though I still try to understand Catholicism and all it’s complications. Edited June 22, 2020 by Xenos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and we forgot to tell rams that not only are there different denominations but that there are different theology within those denominations lol.
