If the Church had made a look into the science consciously and found it to be true, it would be far more profound; as thinking and Faith.
...is it the gold spoon and chalice, is it the alcohol content in the wine? (a happy coincidence after two thousand years, and/or inspired; a question that remains unasked out of fear)
Perhaps by upping the alcohol content one can make communion safe against the virus; who knows it may even draw in more "believers". But kidding aside...
...blind Faith, helps in desperate measures, where Hope seems extinguished, and where an individual is helpless; like when buried alive in an earthquake, with nothing else, a comfort when there is no support.
Looks like the Church excludes its self from real life (again), that which is outside their doors. Such Sanctimony is both Ignorant and Stupid, it seems, because the Church can do so much more.
