Ridiculous

We Must Be All Men Because We Need To Feed People.

Well, excuse me. After failing to come up with a rational reason why catholic priests must be all men out of any theological justification having anything to do with aptitude to grasp scripture or discern meaning of historic events tied thereto, or ability to deliver a good sermon or ability to pray (in tongues or otherwise charistmatically) or heal people with touch or words, or comfort the afflicted, or visit those in prison (women can do all of that quite well and more)- the Catholic church now wants you to think that because they have the monopoly on the true eucharist that they have to feed to the true flock they all must truly be men. Because they have to feed people and what-have the magic words memorized and Jesus will listen only to a baritone and a base reciting it? Tenors if they can hit a High A- keep the boy sopranos in the choir.
Or is there something they have not told us that is part of the mystery of the eucharist. They drop male sweat hormones over it and voila it is magically transfigured?
Who makes the wafers? What are they made of? Protestants are content to pass around a loaf of wholewheat or rye and everyone takes a bit off and passes around-but of course that doesn't capture the unleavened effect that mirrors the bread grabbed at the Seder for the Passover which is supposed to look more like matzo crackers and have no leavening because they had no time to wait for it to rise to knead the bread. So what goes in it-these eucharistic wafers? Some form of wheat I assume- it looks processed so it is probably the cheap stuff (those with wheat allergies can actually specially request a gluten free substitute I found out while lecturing and a strange soul brought his own special gluten free one for blessings and special distribution so he wouldn't convulse in allergies-even though it is only supposed to Look like a trisquit not actually be one.) I imagine it has to have a touch of water if they are baked. What else goes in it? No Baking soda or baking powder? It doesn't come in many varieties-you don't find it in the grocery store under "sacred eats." It doesn' t have flavor like "almond crunch wafer" or "vanilla wafer"- it is pretty bland to the taste, even while some will say that it melts in their mouth like a piece of flesh (get your head around that one.)

What about maleness in serving the eucharist (a thanksgiving memorial) requires it be male.
Inquiring minds and a few Smart-As want to know. Excuse the vulgarity but is there a secret sect or order in Rome of celibate priests jacking off in the batter somewhere as the secret ingredient that turns it into Jesus? Do they get extra credit for it?

Seriously. We need clarity- because this no women priests thing seems a total crock of beef batter jerky.
