Archbishop Anthony Sablan Apuron of Agana, Guam, said perhaps "the church needs to restore the 'breadness' of the bread," by using the "unleavened bread used in the ancient and primitive church rather than the wafer-thin, mass-produced bread we use as hosts for our people today."

A beautiful suggestion but impossible to put into practice, unless in a small community. It would not work at World Youth Day.

I would give a lot of business for bakers, though. :-)

In the Eastern Rite, the Bread *is* Breadl albeit leavened Bread. In some parishes, some families are tasked to bake the Bread following a strict formula.

But you're right. This won't work at the WYD.
