This is a non issue since he could receive under the other Sacred Species. He just wants to whine about life and how unfair it is. He explained that often, at a crowded Mass the wine runs out long before the hoste. He could, however, arrange to sit near where the procession for communion starts so that he is nearer the chalice before it runs out.

he could ask that when he recieves the host....a tiny piece be broken off and given to him....this often happens when the supply is running low near the end of communion.

No problem because the full Body and Blood of Christ is also present in the Blessed Blood. A person need not even take the host.

But when the gluten - free hosts are mixed in with those containing wheat— they pick up fragments of the wheat.
Another reason every person should receive on the tongue and not in the hand.
Many people brush crumbs of Jesus onto the floor without realizing it when they receive in the hand.

What a whiner. I am sure most priests would be happy to accomodate this individual with the sacred blood first if he works it out with them beforehand. And yet again, Alex Murphy grasps at a strawman non issue to beat the Catholic Church rather than addressing issues in his own communion.
To: Mrs. Don-o
I think they are low gluten hosts. Totally gluten free would not be valid matter, as I understand it.
To: Salvation
At my parish the gluten-free hosts are kept on a separate paten, and the celiac sufferers are instructed to get into that Communion line.

To be valid, the host has to be real wheat and only wheat. Of course there are different wheat cultivars, and they use the lowest-gluten kind.
Not sure, though, whether it is theoretically possible to have a wheat variety which is real wheat, but with no gluten. I suppose you'd have to refer to a distinctive, identifiable wheat genome, which wouldn't even have been an issue for most of the Church's history.

In my parish, very few. The only ones I “know” of are one adult, and one child.

Theres a crumb of the Eucharist in the wine, so wine-only receivers It's correctly called "the Precious Blood," not "wine," and both the Host and the Precious Blood are "the Eucharist".

This guy is a whiner. His complaint is not that he can’t receive low-gluten hosts, but that he wants them to be “free of charge”. In other words, he wants someone else to pay for them.

Benedictine sisters of perpetual adoration in Missouri sell 0.1% gluten hosts, approved as valid by the USCCB committee on liturgy, cost is $5.25 + S&H for 30 hosts.
See why I call him a whiner?

I do not know which is sadder.. the fact that Jesus will only allowHimself to be imprissioned in approved crackers or the inability of a Catholic to believe that the real physical presence of Jesus would ever make anyone sick
But such is legalism

Your pastor was absolutely right. Your desire to receive Communion under circumstances that make it impossible IS as blessed as actually receiving it.How Protestant of you :)

How Protestant of you St Thomas Aquinas said that God is not bound by the sacraments in conferring grace; they're just the ordinary means he's given to us. Was he a Protestant, too?
