Best Before Dates-Holy Communion wafer
158 Answers
Are there best before dates on Holy Communion wafer packets? Catholics believe in transubstantiation i.e that really IS the flesh and blood of Christ (not just a representation of it). So is it 2000 year old Jesus's flesh they are eating, or current Jesus's flesh? Is it Jesus's flesh when it's being made in the factory? Or when the priest blesses it? How does the priest know he is really doing that properly? Can paedophile priest's have the power to change the wafers into real flesh (if so, how come? as they're sinners, not real priests) So the people who've been taking communion from sinners, haven't really recieved Communion afterall. Can you get drunk on a bottle of Communion wine, if so, how? As it's really blood isn't it?
I expect 95% of Catholics don't even know they're supposed to believe it ACTUALLY IS the body and blood of Christ.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The idea comes from the Last Supper when Jesus reputedly broke bread, offered it to his disciples, and passed the wine around, saying something like 'Do this in remembrance of me'. Personally, I think he meant them to gather together for a meal occasionally in remembrance of him - but the church clearly disagrees. It much prefers pseudo cannibalism.
