Reminds me of Graham Greene’s “The Power and the Glory”
Funny I can’t eat wheat gluten so last Sunday I passed my communion wafer to my husband. I also can’t drink red wine. Migraine, etc. Some churches offer fruit juice or white wine...
I’ll bet the Host has been made from any of a number of different raw materials over the centuries.
Cuber has no sugar and no cane fibers?
Isn’t communism wonderful?
When liberals are in charge, there isn’t enough flour to make tiny crackers .
Make them with solar!
Wind?
So barley, oats, rice, corn, millet, spelt, amaranth, quinoa, rye and sorghum are right out! Maybe spelt (Triticum spelta) would be OK.
Transubstantiation only works with wheat?
“Dr.” Jill will send them tacos.
Diorgys Hernandez, general director of the food processing ministry, said when he announced the wheat shortage that “the financial costs involved in wheat shipments to the country” were partly to blame.
Got my communion at morning Mass this morning.
I’m good for the week now. 😉
I don’t believe this story for a minute. Communist countries don’t allow religion.
What’s the problem?
I don’t know if there is some kind of wheat embargo in place in Cuba, but I can’t see there being an embargo on already made communion hosts. Seems like there are a lot of countries nearby from which they can easily obtain them.
Food shortages simply mean that Cuba has achieved a perfect state of socialism.
Generous flour donations allow Carmelites in Cuba to resume making Communion hosts for churches
