rather you should ask "Is the church dogma so ridiculous that they really have to ask such a question? i.e. where in the bible is 'wheat' the only way to receive communion?"The child suffers from a rare and unusual disorder which prevents her from participating in customary Church traditions. There is no doubt that the Church will find a way to accommodate the child once the slow wheels of Church bureaucracy become better informed as to the nature of her disability. Until that happens, there will also be plenty of opportunity for anti-Catholic bigots to denounce and belittle the Church.

Precisely! Anti-Catholic bigots are using this issue to say, "See! See! They don't want you! Fight them!" The Church will undoubtedly find some means of accomodation for the child -- but it may take longer than anti-Catholics would like. Well, that's too bad. I expect our Church leadership to take these issues seriously and give them careful thought, without making kneejerk decisions.
