Church of Cyprus says it is impossible for sacramental wine and bread to transmit diseases

So they’re saying that their religious dogma can’t be overcome by a miracle of biology?

We’ve swapped ends at half-time?

So Jesus had wine running through his veins, and his body was made of crackers? Doesn’t the cognitive dissonance make their brain hurt?

An area where his teachings overlap particularly closely with the gospel of dog, judging by their behavior at any rate.

I remember our priest came down with Hepatitis and we all had to get shots of gamma globulin the next Sunday (the Church brought in a couple of nurses and a doctor who were members to get it done). My sister said she was feeling faint, my Mom thought my sister was full of crap, then my sister fainted and wacked her head on a corner of some post so then we had to go get her stitches in her head all the while she and Mom argued.

That Sunday was a total bust.

IIRC from my Catholic days (not the same church as the Church of Cyprus, but as Nicene churches they should share a common Christology), the catechism declares that Christ is both “truly God and truly Man”. So yes, that is human blood and flesh.

It is like with exercising muscles - they hurt at first, but then it becomes easier and easier. Indoctrination starts from the childhood until a person believes everything religious authority tells them. It’s obviously very convenient for religious authority.

Meanwhile how much you want to bet that the “megachurches” will still hold their fundraising religious meetings? As long as they don’t try to peddle a colloidal silver solution and claim it cures coronavirus (or if they do they do it outside New York they should be fine, the power of your wallets Buddy Christ will protect them?

But have you seen the way they dole out communion in the Orthodox Church? It used to gross me out as a kid, and back then I would eat food that fell on the floor without thinking.

There ya go, enjoy.
