***As a Catholic I ask: Why don’t these satanic cults use the crackers from Protestant services?***

Actually, we use matzos which can be purchased in the grocery store. Further, we do not transubstantiate it so there would be no sacramental reason to use matzos that were distributed at a service.

In fact, we discard the unused matzos and grape juice. That is abhorrent in RC theology but not inconsistent with our Zwinglian theology.

Now, Lutherans would have a different answer since they do affirm consubstantiation.

Hosts and wine have been stolen from Lutheran churches on occasion, and Presbyterian as well if I remember right. Usually though, it is the desecration not the stolen communion wafers that makes the news. It isn't as common as from an RC church, or at least not as widely reported.

Once a matzos, always a matzos :-)

Just curious. Why wouldn't you re-use it? Or is this a function of how often you observe the Lord's Supper? If I remember correctly, Zwingli celebrated it four times a year.
