Let's be honest; By the time that comes around again the X-Men might be under the Marvel Studios umbrella.

That's all accurate except the rumors are that New Mutants is under some sort-of contractual obligation to be released to theaters.

Since there's nothing special about the wafers themselves, why don't they use something that tastes better? Like white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. It would still be the body of christ

Would probably help get those millennial asses in the pews if there was fresh baked cookie smell wafting out of the church

PZ Myers got death threats for "desecrating" an unconsecrated communion wafer. It was unconsecrated. Death threats. Catholics take their lovely crackers really seriously.

At least look up some guides and youtube videos or some poo poo before you start causing irreparable harm to everything you own.

Causing irreparable harm is kind of the boomer's "thing," though.

Catholics are just protestants playing an absolutely massive larp of Vampire the masquerade

In Roman Catholicism, it can only be unleavened bread, because this is what Jesus and Apostles had at their Pesach supper. In Orthodox churches and in Greek Catholicism, leavened bread is used, as it's the type of bread that was sacrificed in the Temple according to the Old Testament. So you can't licitly consecrate a cookie in any church where it is believed that bread becomes in one way or another the true body of Christ.

There are other churches with different teachings on the Eucharist, and some of them are more lax in what type of bread they use in their services (e.g., cornbread), but I'm not aware of a single one where anything but bread would be used, as even in churches that see the ritual as purely symbolic, it would completely break the symbolism of it.

But there are also churches where they throw snakes around and yell gibberish at each other while faking a seizure, so really you can probably justify anything if you want to.

Catholics in general are loving crazy. No serious disrespect meant for what you believe, but y'all need to understand that from the outside looking in you look like loving nutbars. The "Catholic guilt" thing in-particular is

The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits guided by the individual will. Politically aware, Civic-minded Satanists and allies in The Satanic Temple have publicly opposed The Westboro Baptist Church, advocated on behalf of children in public school to abolish corporal punishment, applied for equal representation where religious monuments are placed on public property, provided religious exemption and legal protection against laws that unscientifically restrict women's reproductive autonomy, exposed fraudulent harmful pseudo-scientific practitioners and claims in mental health care, and applied to hold clubs alongside other religious after school clubs in schools besieged by proselytizing organizations.

So you’re saying I could legitimately hold Mass with cornbread muffins.

Paladinus posted:

The whole point is that you and other parishioners get to have tea with biscuits or cake AFTER the Mass. That's also where you discuss Game of Thrones and whether references to it were appropriate in the sermon.

Getting some DIY projects moving is one thing, but trying to get professional results doing important renovation work by just fumbling around in the dark is stupid. At least look up some guides and youtube videos or some poo poo before you start causing irreparable harm to everything you own.

Listen if you transubstantiate something that leaves crumbs you’re gonna have bits of the son of God all over your chapel. That’s hella rude, no two ways about it. Gonna leave the body of Jesus to get moldy in the piles of your carpet, smdh.
