Thankfully Jesus Christ will not shoo her away. If she has accepted Him as her Savior there is nothing this man made church can do to stop that relationship from flourishing.

Man-made you say? If your Protestant or any of the derived churches, your church didn't start until the 15th century. The Catholic church was founded by Christ.

This is not a new issue. Here's a 2001 article from the National Catholic Reporter on the same issue:

Since reception in both kinds is now the norm in the RCC, it does seem that there is a quiet way around this situation.

My own Anglican church will allow consecration of a non-wheat host in special circumstances. Communion can be received in one or both kinds. The host can be received in three ways:

* On the tongue
* In the hand
* By intinction and on the tongue.

Sometimes the relative flexibility of the Anglican way avoids large conflicts over small things. Other times, of course, some of us are so open-minded, our brains fall out.

O go away. We know you don't believe in the Real Presence.
