many Churches use grape juice or non-alcoholic wine. I, myself, can have nothing with alcoholic content because of medical situation and I participate in communion

at the same time as church homes do use wine, it really is watered down resembling the way that wine would were throughout the time of Jesus' time. also, anybody receives this variety of small element that, even for a baby, there'll be no outcomes on them. There are 30 states that allow underage intake of alcohol for non secular applications and 29 states enable underage intake of alcohol on inner most, non alcohol-promoting premises, with parental consent. yet another 7 states enable it on inner most, non alcohol-promoting premises, without parental consent. So, in maximum places it really is legal and that i don't think of that it really is risky to have a small quantity of very diluted wine.

The Catholic Church does not serve wine to anyone. It ministers the Body and Blood of Christ to anyone who is of age to receive it. Yes, physically there is still alcohol present. But each person takes only a single sip from the cup, so no-one feels any effect of such alcohol. An alcoholic of course would avoid receiving from the cup and would just receive the consecrated bread.

We have separation of church and state throughout the world for this reason alone.
The amount of alcohol in one spoonful of Holy Communion couldn't kill a fly nevermind intoxicate a child. Besides, the Holy Communion isn't bread and wine but something else more potent - living fire.
Since there are many anti-Christians on this forum - no use wasting letters explaining something to those whose minds are closed in their own dogmatic prison....

My church does it and its fine. It's a very small amount of watered down wine and nobody gets hurt.

They always do I have had it as a child, but I'm European it's legal down there for all ages. It's just stupid North American paranoid standards that enforce such retarded laws.

no it's not alcoholic. the priests save that for themselves.
the only people who should get arrested are those that seek to relieve their sexual tensions by looking for the 72 virgins.

In the biblical days when they drank "wine", they were drinking new grape juice. It was not fermented. When it did ferment it was conhsidered to be uncleaned and they were not to drink it.
