  and there is nothing you can do about it because you can't eat bread!.

  http://www.cnn.com/2004/us/08/19/communion.denied.ap/index.htmlchurch says girl's communion not valid.

  brielle, new jersey (ap) -- an 8-year-old girl who suffers from a rare digestive disorder and cannot eat wheat has had her first holy communion declared invalid because the wafer contained no wheat, violating roman catholic doctrine.. haley waldman, 8, is shown in her communion gown in this undated family photo.. now, haley waldman's mother is pushing the diocese of trenton and the vatican to make an exception, saying the girl's condition should not exclude her from the sacrament, which commemorates the last supper of jesus christ before his crucifixion.

  The real issue is: did the bread become the blood and body of Christ?

  According to Catholic beliefs when a priest uses the correct materials and performs the rite correctly an actual miracle takes place. (not saying it does only that is the belief) the bred and wine become the body and blood of Christ. Using the correct materials but doing the rite incorrectly or doing the ritual correctly but using the wrong material results in no miracle taking place and so no body and blood of Christ. The church can not say that the kid received communion because she never ate the body and blood of Christ. It is nothing more then that. There is no looking into a hart involved. this is not a symbolic event to Catholics, a change takes place (to there thinking) and no change took place in the bread the kid ate. So no communion took place. I don't know why the mother has a problem with taking a teaspoon of water cut "blood of Christ". If she believes that is what communion is.

  Catholic girl denied communion

  don't know if y'all have seen this, but it strikes me as very 'watchtower-ish".

  basically, regardless of your desire to 'do what is right', if you can't do it how they say it's 'right', then you're screwed.

  i don't agree w/ catholicism, but this little girl probably has nightmares of going to hell b/c the "holy" church won't let her take communion.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5762478/?gt1=4529

  A recovering alcholic would eat Big Tex. but we are talking a bout a teaspoon or so of liquid so it might not set most people in recovery off.

  This is an old problem with an old solution. If the person can't eat, she/he drinks, no problem. My guess is the kids mom won't let her drink the blood and wants the church to change instead.

  well, 3 years have gone, that's one hell of a lot of lurking, not to mention posting fluff.

  even worse posting inane dribble while having drunk too much like last night.

  There is no freedom of choice, if one option is acceptable and the other brings correction.

  Here is a shot list of other free choices open to Witness, they can; rob banks, go hunting, sell drugs, say the Lords prayer, kill people, read the bible without "study aids," rape, go to a church, pimp, stay home on Saturday, car jack, ask for clarification on seemingly contradictory statements made by the Org, commit fraud, become a Doctor, cheat the taxman, love who they love, drink and drive, have an opinion...

  You know what they say, "One mans freedom is the same mans bondage."

  Sickening abuse case in the UK

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm sure anyone in the uk will have heard about the poor little 8 year old girl who was subjected to appalling abuse and killed.. i just feel so angry right now...how could so many police, doctors, social workers let her down and fail to act when the signs were so clear and pointed out to them?.

  what are they there for, for goodness sake?.

  they should all be sacked for incompetence and failing to do what they get well paid for.

  IN THE NAME OF LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  LOVE CONQUERS ALL LOVE, OVERCOMES ALL, LOVE JUSTIFIES ALL.

  Love of god Justifies any killing in his name.

  Love of the other justifies stocking, rape, everything.

  Love is a fiction that leads to the destruction of self.
