What is your point? I am being hypocritical, or the Vicar of Christ does not have the authority, but you do?
My point is that anyone impies that a child has to take a wheat host to receive their first communion is being hypocritical to Christs message. It would seem that a child with this 'life and death' problem should easily be allowed to have their first communion with the wine/juice alone or a substitute non-wheat bread. If not, the church is being 'very' hypocritical.
The Church certainly isn't saying that.

This would be completely valid but the girl's mother is refusing this option.
...or a substitute non-wheat bread.
This would be illicit and is completely unnecessary for this situation since receiving the Eucharist under one species (the consecrated wine alone) would be a completely valid first communion.
If not, the church is being 'very' hypocritical.
The Church is being completely consistent in this instance.
HoW? The Church is custodian of the faith. It has no authority to change the matter used to confect the Eucharist.
