Welch's Grape Juice instead of wine and these teeny-weeny stale crackers instead of bread.

lol. Well, at least it's not "sweet rolls" --

THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD

"...A Mass can be invalid for a number of reasons...1) because of a defect in the matter, for example, using sweet rolls instead of bread made only from wheat flour and water..."

(Recall we learned in the above thread the RCC teaches that the "priest is another Christ.")

“lol. Well, at least it’s not “sweet rolls” —”

I was the interim Pastor for my church when we were looking for a real one a couple of years ago. I noticed that the congregation was getting too complacent during Communion and not really “actualizing” (i.e. getting into it) sooooo, instead of those teeny-weeny stale crackers, I broke up some great Portuguese rolls into chunks that couldn’t be just swallowed; but had to be slowly chewed. It took some time to get through the bread and by the time the Welch’s Grape Juice got there in large specimen cups rather than the little plastic communion cups, they were all convinced there was wine there. Alas, no miracle of Cana, but they all were alert and into it the next communion Sunday.
