Wheatless Communion Wafer = Mark Of The Beast

Hilarious.

BRIELLE, N.J. -- An 8-year-old girl who has a rare digestive disorder and cannot consume wheat has had her first Communion declared invalid because the wafer contained none.

Now, Haley Waldman's mother is pushing the Diocese of Trenton and the Vatican to make an exception, saying the sacrament should be changed to accommodate the girl's condition.

Roman Catholic doctrine holds that communion wafers must have at least some unleavened wheat, as did the bread served at the Last Supper of Jesus Christ before his crucifixion.

In May, the girl received her first Holy Communion from a priest who offered her a wheat-free host. But last month, the diocese told the priest that Waldman's sacrament would not be validated by the church because of the substitute wafer.

Incidentally, Bishop Smith -- a head of the Trenton Diocese -- is the same man who "blasted" pro-choice Catholic politicians last spring.

Do you know a pro-choice Catholic politician who probably takes wheatless communion?

We do, and his name be Kerry.
