From a priest…
QUAERITUR:
I was at a church this week and this is the gluten-free stuff they’re passing out. Look at the ingredients. How can this be valid matter?
Just so that you can see it more clearly.
NO! This is invalid.
The pastor should be informed immediately. If nothing is done, the local bishop and then then the Congregation in Rome.
This is serious.
The hosts “consecrated” are NOT consecrated. Hence, sacrilege and idolatry are taking place.
Even if the hosts are low gluten, they must have originated from wheat. Other flours are INVALID.
UPDATE:
At the USCCB website there is a page with companies that make approved hosts and the company in question, Cavanaugh, is on the list… for LOW GLUTEN hosts, not Gluten Free, which are in the photo above.
Lest anyone think that that company is not clear about their product, this is from the company website:
They say explicitly: “The gluten free wafers are considered to be invalid material for the Catholic Mass.”

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
