OK, lets read this again: " An 8-year-old girl who suffers from a rare digestive disorder and cannot consume wheat has had her first Holy Communion ___declared invalid___ " And nowhere does the article say anywhere that the child was forced to drink wine, or drank wine, or that her parents were willing to have their daughter drink wine. Forcing a child to drink wine is immoral. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
