<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Just a note to the list re Roman Catholic Church attitude to requests from coeliacs in Ireland for gluten-free communion. My experience is that when I approached my local priest here in Dublin, there was no hassle whatsoever. He gave me the choice of bringing my own gluten-free hosts or of just receiving wine on its own, along with the altar servers. Also it is the practice in our church at weekday masses to serve bread and wine to all the (admittedly small) congregation. It seems the problems some of you have been having are very much based on the personal attitudes of individual priests,etc. The rules are not cast in stone! Regards to all. Deirdre Weafer
