<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> First of all, apologies to those of you for whom this posting has no significance; there is, I'm afraid, only one list. Bearing in mind that the celiac list archives are available, I am not going to rehash old arguments, but would like to ask what is essentially a new question. The last word I recall on the matter was that, after all the suggestions re substitutes for the wheaten hosts were in, and useful ideas were promulgated about the 'mechanics' of using substitutes, it was reported that someone high up in the Church's hierarchy had declared that the presence of gluten was essential to make the host a valid medium for transubstantiation--or something along those lines. My question: has there been any movement or attempts to clarify this situation since the previous discussion? thank you! John
