doubleyootoo asked:

i always had actual wine when i did communion as a child??? catholics right

Dontcha gotta drink it from like a communal trough or something?  I’ve heard bad stories about gross shared Catholic wine, several of them since update time.

I mean, I guess health code regulations can only go so far when you’re drinking believed-to-be actual blood, but

  3. roxyrocketeer said: Our church dipped the wafer in the wine and the priest placed it on your tongue. The carpet was replaced from a tan color to deep rep to hide the stains of errant drips. It was odd

  6. flawful-ish said: all the catholic churches i’ve been to do not serve wine to the congregants, only the priest has wine. i’m anglican, and we get sherry at communion. but i’m in the choir so i get first dibs! and it’s served out of a silver chalice (ooo fancy) and silver actually has natural antibacterial properties, in an amazing fit of coincidence. people who are actually sick though generally go for a blessing instead of drinking from the cup though
  7. veillees said: Catholics in Germany don’t get wine with the Communion (except the select few who hold some sort of office in the church - having Communion in both forms was a major dispute in Reformation times, so I am confused why Catholics elsewhere even do that?); Protestants here share a cup that gets wiped. Certainly not as sanitary as you guys over in the States.

  13. blackbournen-blog said: Usually they have a few large cups, although depending on the size of the congregation they might only need one. I guess the theory is that it’s alcohol so germs aren’t going to be too much of a problem? Always confused me as a kid, though, because nobody bothered to give any reason at all.
