Snarf Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well, that's how they were originally made. If you go buy jumbo pretzels, they get that brown glaze from being baked with egg yolks having been brushed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman82 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 OK, here's a thought. What is the policy for gluten in the Eastern Rites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezic Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 there is a new way to make hosts that is approved by the Vatican. They use wheat starch. The gluten content is 0.001% They have been approved by the USCCB as well and are the only "gluten-free" ones that can be validly used (i am not sure if these are the ones, but i read about it a few months ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Era Might Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 A Priest at the shrine got back to me. They're using the low-gluten hosts made by those nuns in Missouri, so they're not truly gluten-free. Crisis averted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anastasia13 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 [quote name='photosynthesis' date='Feb 28 2006, 11:40 PM']because if it doesn't have gluten in it, then the church does not define it as bread. the Catholic Church wants the Eucharistic sacrifice to replicate the Last Supper as recorded in the Bible. [right][snapback]900539[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I don't mean why does it have to be a certain way to be transformed. I mean why would the gluten before matter when it is only the flesh of Jesus being eaten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
