Eucharistic Bread (Gluten-Free too!)

You may have heard that the Roman Catholic Church has outlawed gluten-free wafers/bread. You can read about it here:

Here at St. Peter's we have bread baked by families (we use 2 recipes) for our Eucharistic Bread.  We also have wheat wafers and gluten-free wafers for those who need/prefer them.

What should we make of all this? Read these articles:
