It's not vegan if you are a catholic but vegan if you are a protestant.
I thought this was a joke at first but then I thought about it for a minute. This is the correct answer, I think.
The actual correct answer IMO is that since the Eucharist isn't cannibalism (while it has the essential characteristics of being the body of Christ it is not human flesh) it shouldn't be considered meat. Plus I think Jesus saying "take ye, and eat" counts as consent.
edit: Jesus is basically that cow thing from "Restaurant at the End of the Universe".
It doesnt feel like it's vegan to eat a cow that was generically engineered to want to die to be turned to meat though...
I certainly wouldn't eat it. It would be a good struggle session though.
I'm going to be honest, I don't completely understand the difference between what Catholics say and what Anglicans, or Lutherans, or some Reformed Christians say in regards to the Eucharist.
From what I can tell they are all saying basically the same thing but a bit differently.
Technically, it's not the body of Christ until you consume it, but I think that's a whole other struggle session.
No, it becomes the body of Christ when it is consecrated. You transubstantialist Papist piece of shit! - Martin Luther
Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written. -Elijah, probably. Or maybe Enoch, who knows.
Suddenly I want kids, just so that I can pack a container on these in their lunchbox to take to lunch at the cafeteria in school when its lunchtime.
Imagine bringing them to work in your lunchbox and taking it out at lunchtime and just chowing down on them. Or packing them into your kids lunchbox to take to school, even better
I went to a Lutheran church once and they had real bread and grape juice for their communion. I'd rather have the paper wafer bread and the Catholic version of two-buck Chuck.
