The Roberts court has made it clear that they’re willing to accept an enormous amount of stretching to allow the 1st Amendment to override regulation, so this isn’t shocking. The only real surprise is they didn’t manage to find a way to argue their religious freedoms are being violated.

Wine, Jesus, all that stuff. This is my blood.
Obviously this is an infringement of their right to religious freedom by woke Californian Cultural Marxists.

You jest but a number of California wineries managed to squeak by during the prohibition era via the legal sale of “sacramental wine” for church services.
Unsurprisingly anyone running the numbers would have noticed that church attendance must have skyrocketed during that period to account for all the sales.

Where else were the faithful to consume the blood of our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ? Get some religion in you!
Pretty sure priests were able to get hammered. And doctors.
And rich people generally of course.

Maybe they just drank a lot. After all, Jesus had like 10 pints in him at all times.

No wonder the Romans were always sticking him for drinks.

I think once he was dead the wine was off though. I believe one witness described it as “like vinegar”.
I did try the alter/altar wine as a kid but I had no idea what wine was meant to taste like so I thought it was gross.

It’s a desperate Hail-Mary play to cover for their not being in compliance with the regulations.

Jesus’ kind of bar. He was the kind of confirmed bachelor who liked to go out drinking with a bunch of sailors and the like of an evening.
