Is it acceptable to just eat the bread, but not drink the wine?

Not a drinker.

Alcohol is OK in the Church.


Jesus turned water into wine.

I have rarely seen the wine offered to the laity in my experience. I was raised catholic and I only saw it on a few occasions, despite attending Mass weekly.

It depends.

In my neck of the woods there is always wine.

My wife is a Eucharist minister and when they are done the ministers are supposed to drink what is left in the cup. My wife is not a drinker so the priest finishes the wine for her.


I don't take the wine unless I am first in line. After a 30 people taking a sip of wine from the cup i am not interested (even if we have blessing of the throat).

I realize that....it may vary depending on the local parish or diocese, I imagine.

Hey, here is one thing other churches do better. They give parishioners individual small cups for the wine (or grape juice in some churches).

Default Are Gluten Free Eucharist Hosts OK?

My Catholic friend Miriam's grandson is gluten intolerant. His parents asked if he could use a gluten free Eucharist host like one made of spelt. The parents were told unless he ate the wheat host, the Eucharist was invalid. They went to another parish and the priest said he didn't have a problem with it and said if they wanted to bring something in he would work around it. Was one priest right and the other wrong?

According to Jimmy Akin on Catholic Answers Live....yes--the priest that allowed the non-standard was wrong.
