Here's an interesting news item:
Brielle, N.J.
Communion denied because wafer contained no wheat.
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.
The little girl said, "I'm on a gluten-free diet because I can't have wheat. I could die."
