re: #125 WhatEVs

I don’t know what that means. (Sorry, I was raised Jewish and have limited knowledge of Christian rituals.)

Trans: The ‘Roman’ and other Catholic rite churches in Europe celebrated communion as bread and wine until the plagues ravaged the west. Then they stopped sharing wine from a single large cup, and distibuted only the bread. Don’t know in detail what the eastern (Greek rite) churches did, but they seem always to have distributed bread and wine, sometimes by dipping. Since Vatican II reforms, Roman churches have distributed both species—bread and wine.
