Vatican Outlaws Gluten-free Bread For Holy Communion
Bread used to celebrate the Eucharist during Roman Catholic Mass must not be gluten-free - although it may be made from genetically modi- fied organisms, the Vatican has ruled.
In a letter to bish- ops, Cardinal Robert Sarah said the bread can be low- gluten.
But he said there must be enough protein in the wheat to make it without additives.
The new rules are needed because the bread is now sold in supermar- kets and on the internet, the car- dinal said.
Roman Catholics believe bread and wine served at the Eucharist are converted into the body and blood of Christ through a process known as transubstanti- ation.
The wine used must also be "natural, from the
fruit of the grape, pure and incor- rupt, not mixed with other sub- stances", said Cardinal Robert Sarah of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
The ruling was issued at the request of Pope Francis, the letter said.
There are about 1.2 billion Roman Catholics around the world.
Delta Flight Attendant Smashes Wine Bottle Over Disruptive Passenger's Head
A Delta Airlines flight attendant smashed a wine bottle over the head of a male passenger who lunged for an exit door and assaulted a flight attendant and fellow passen- ger during a Beijing- bound flight from Seattle.
According to ABC News, 23-year-old Joseph Daniel Hudek IV of Tampa, Florida, appeared in U.S. District Court on Friday. He did not speak during the hearing. His attor- ney, Robert Flennaugh II, declined to com- ment, according to The AP.
Hudek was charged with interfering with a flight crew and is expected to remain in custody at least until a detention hearing on July 13.
The Boeing 767 turned around about an hour after takeoff from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to an air-
port spokesper-
son. According to the complaint, first class passenger Hudek went into the forward restroom. He came out quickly, asked the attendant a question, and went back in.
When Hudek exited the restroom two minutes later, he suddenly lunged for the exit door, grabbed the handle and tried to open it. Two attendants grabbed him, but he pushed them away, and the attendants signaled for help from several pas- sengers and notified the cockpit by tele- phone, the complaint said.
During the alterca- tion, Hudek punched one flight attendant twice in the face and struck at least one passenger in the head with a red dessert wine bottle. As the struggle raged one, a flight attendant grabbed two wine bottles and hit Hudek over the
head with each, breaking at least one of them.
According to one flight attendant cited in the complaint, "Hudek did not seem impacted by the breaking of a full liter red wine bottle over his head, and instead shouted, 'Do you know who I am?' or something to that extent."
Several passengers were eventually able to restrain him and held him long enough to place zip- tie restraints on him.
A passenger and a flight attendant were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries in connec- tion with the inci- dent.
Delta flight 129 land- ed safely at 7:10 p.m., and Hudek was arrested. The Atlanta-based airline said the flight re- departed for Beijing later on Thursday.
