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.

Church doctrine holds that Communion wafers, like the bread served at the Last Supper, must have at least some unleavened wheat. Church leaders are reluctant to change anything about the sacrament.

Ohhhhh, now I see. It's ok to molest little boys, but heaven forbid we substitute a rice wafer for a wheat one- what the hell was I thinking?

With regard to the numerous child molesting charges against the Catholic Church, did you know that they're about to top 1 BILLION DOLLARS in lost trials and settlements? A billion dollars! Do you realize how many kids they must've abused in order to reach that amount? And that doesn't include the thousands of victims that are too ashamed to come forward.

And where do you think they get this money from? That's right, they molest your child and then pay you off with your own money. Just amazing.
