[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of churches allow you to dip the wager into the wine instead of drinking directly from the cup. Also, alcohol sterilizes. [/quote]

Does the priest or anyone who gives away the wafers do wear gloves? Just wondering? 
Cause if they carry something, then the whole church can get it?

Also some people close their mouth just so that they come in contact with the fingers of the giver.

Why churches won't figure out some other way? Why people can not bring and hold their own
wafers and they can not be blessed comunaly and so they don't come in contact at no point?[/quote] our priest had a cloth that they would wipe across the cup between the sippers. [/quote]

I was a eucharistic minister for a while.  The little cloth really isn't intended to get rid of germs (wouldn't do that effectively anyway)  It's just there so that none of the body of Christ falls on the ground.  (The cloths are cleaned using a special method, not just regular laundry.)

I remember during confirmation prep someone asking about germs during communion.  The nun told us that it's the body and blood of Christ, so son't worry about it - [b]God will take care of you. Which is an admirable strength of faith[/b].[/quote]

And an invitation to disease.[/quote]
