Via Metalsucks here. A specialty burger at Kuma’s Corner has a communion wafer as a garnish. A Catholic foodie blogger (ugh) reacted negatively.
From the Director of Operations at Kuma’s:
“People have been kind of upset,” he said. “The thing with this is, the communion wafer is unconsecrated, so until that happens, it’s really just a cracker.”
The guy seems to have a better grasp of Catholic teaching on communion wafers than the Catholic guy. It’s just a wafer. If someone in Kuma’s supply chain management successfully procured consecrated wafers for the burgers, God has the ability, if I remember high school religion class correctly, to redact the consecration.
Aside from the grumpy foodie guy, though, there’s probably not a really big uproar about it. Just another inflated news story.
