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.

Actually, this practice did not start at the Last Supper.
It is a pagan ritual, called The Lord's Supper, which had been in use for centuries before the supposed time of Jesus.
It was imported into what was later to be called Christianity by Paul in I.Corinthians, ch 11and copied later by the first three gospel writers. "John" tells it quite differently.
Look at this:
"He that will not eat of my body and drink of my blood, so that he will be made one with me and I with him, the same shall not know salvation."
Uncannily like John 6. v 56? It is actually a Mithraic saying, invoked by pagan priests when handing out the bread and wine.

I'm not talking rubbish. I was observing a class of GCSE R.E students in their R.E. lesson at a Catholic school three years ago. Roughly 30 students.
When the teacher explained what transubstantiation was, they all went "yuk, you're having a laugh" to the teacher. It was the first they'd heard of it, (that it was NOT supposed to be symbolic). So maybe all you people who already know, are quite a bit older.

Conclusion:- 1)Some Catholics are knowingly eating Jesus alive, some don't know they are doing it.
2)Communion wafers have best before dates.
3)Priest gets drunk on communion wine after it has been transubstantiated, therefor it did NOT get changed into blood.
4)Both good and evil priests can give equally good communion.
5)Some Catholics are touchy about being asked questions about their religion.
