text: Dear Jay--I find your statement to be most uncivil. I am a cradle Catholic, regular weekly Mass goer, and try to go to Mass at least occasionally during the week as my schedule permits. Yes, I find myself troubled from time-to-time by some of the teachings of the Magisterium. I do believe, as one of the Jesuit Fathers of my alma matter, Georgetown, once noted: the Church does best and is at its strongest when it lays down the basic rules, collects reasonable taxes, and gets the h-e-double toothpicks out of the way of the faithful. At our home parish, our parish priest is the model of a servant pastor, and has worked with us to ensure the reception of the Blood of Christ untainted by gluten (which can happen if the cup has not been properly or completely purified). But it would be nice to fully participate in Holy Communion. You go on with your holier-than-thou attitude. I'd prefer to get dirty in Pope Francis' field hospital.
