Yeah. Blood of Christ is alcoholic, Catholics and wine go way way back

Exactly, of course they can, drinking is literally a part of Mass



They can. Catholicism has no ā€œhardā€ restriction against drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, only against the excess. This is often justified through John 2:1-11, where Jesus transforms water into wine to animate a party. In fact some convents even brew their own wine or beer.

inb4 I’m not Catholic but raised in a Catholic household.
…it’s kind of weird I’m talking about this given my nickname, but oh well.

Paul also instructs his disciple, Timothy, to essentially stop being a tea toataler and drink more wine.

Of course, up until the discovery of bacteria, alcohol was the way you ensured your beverages were safe to drink.

That’s a misconception. Most people in ancient and medieval times had reasonable access to clean water. They drank wine and beer because they wanted to get stoned.

Do u have a source for the bold claim

Most people in ancient and medieval times had reasonable access to clean water




Jesus was sooo cool, sucks that the lamest, antichristi-est assholes have culturally appropriated him to justify their endless und bottomless wickedness

Yet he never had anything bad to say about slavery

Has anyone dedicated a longer treatment of that?





Do they need authorization?

Thats why I’m asking, I know nothing

What prompted the question though?

Get ur own thread haha
