Communion Wafers and.... (scroll down to that "customers who bought this also bought..." section). :lol:

The only thing missing is a Dummy's Guide to being a Catholic Priest.

The comments alone were priceless, and the helpful suggestion that one might want to purchase some Astroglide to help them go down easier is brilliant.

Well, Jesus is totally God and totally human, so eating his flesh counts totally as cannibalism. It's not so bad, really.

I'd love Jesus more if he got some leaven in his flesh. He just tastes so bland!

[shiningbrow]

I wonder how he'd go with an MLT?

Messiah Lettuce Tomato? I suspect he'd fare better than other deities.

You can make some really good things with Communion Wafers. Christ Mix (chex mix) and Nacho Jeez are standard fare at my easter parties.

I want to point out something else that is worthy of worry: the "Customers who viewed this item also viewed" part. It features the Very Best of David Hasselhoff.

The reason Jesus rose on the third day was yeast.

Nah, I meant the Mom Lettuce and Tomato hijacked from the thread about the Russian judge who went easy on the guy who killed his mother and then ate her over a period of time because he was hungry and had no money (having blown it all on booze.) I thought it went well with the Cannibalism theme.

Also from the comments

I haven't purchased these specific wafers, but I can tell you what we do in the Catholic Church of which I am pastor. We typically serve these wafers with a side of brie cheese and perhaps a touch of salt. At Parish Council meetings, we sometimes offer a dollop of preserves in addition-- strawberry has been well received. Should you choose to do the same, you'll want to be thoughtful about wine pairings. Forget the boxed stuff and choose a nice California Pinot. I mean... what are "second collections" intended for anyway? To fund wine and cheese parties!


I'm now tempted to hold a Messiah and cheese party.

Don't. Communion wafers are bland and stale, go with a nice Bertolli.

I've always wondered... Can Catholic priests turn any food into the flesh of christ? Or just bread? Or just communion wafers?

Also, I just thought of a really creepy D&D cleric spell.

This is from the Catholic encyclopedia. I would suggest a nice baguette or even a ciabatta. Those wafers are flavorless and dry, and do a poor job of representing the rich character of the deceased, anyway.


In the Christian liturgy bread is used principally as one of the elements of the Eucharistic sacrifice. Our Divine Lord consecrated bread and wine at the Last Supper, and commanded His disciples to do the same in commemoration of Him, and thus ever since bread made of beaten flour has been offered at the altar for the officiating priest to consecrate into the Body of the Lord. It is a debated question whether Christ used leavened or unleavened bread at the institution of the Holy Eucharist, since different conclusions may be drawn, on the one hand, from the gospel of St. John and the synoptic Gospels on the other. History does not establish conclusively what the practice of the Apostles and their successors was, but it may be asserted with some probability that they made use of whatever bread was at hand, whether azymous or fermented. Different customs gradually began to grow up in different localities and then became tradition and fixed. The Eastern Churches for the most part made use of leavened bread as they still do, while the western Churches declared their preference for unleavened bread. At the time of the schism this difference of practice gave rise to much discussion of the value of their respective claims in following the example of Christ, and fomented bitter controversy even in recent years. Either kind of bread is, of course, valid matter for the sacrifice, so the difference of usage should be of little dogmatic importance. (See AZYMES).

Oh yeah! I remember the Coptic service I went to, the bread was lovely. So in case anyone is thinking of converting, bread-wise orthodox is the way to go. They also have the best imagery. Don't if you're a woman though, because you are not allowed into the inner sanctum. Though they do have a picture of the Virgin Mary hanging up there, which I think is a bit hypocrite.

It would have been unleavened bread. He was there to celebrate a Seder.
