I can't get the cathnews.com site to load. Are they wheat-FREE hosts, or just super-low-wheat (nearly wheat-free) hosts? I was reading today at work about some nuns who make super low-gluten hosts for people with celiac disease. The hosts still technically are wheat, but not dangerous…

AP finally picked up on the story about the little N.J. girl, so it'll be even more in the news tomorrow.

And again I ask: Why can't celiac disease sufferers simply partake of the Precious Blood?
