Would be happy and proclaim this as great news except…
Father Goldade has not to my knowledge clarified his claim that “the bread remains” when referring to the sacred Host. He doubled down on this claim when confronted by stating that ‘Trent’ teaches this. My argument is that transubstantiation means the ‘substance’ is changed, and if this is true how can our Lord when received in the ‘proper state’ by a person allergic to gluten cause that person great harm? Do we receive two different Hosts at Communion time? One is Jesus in all His ‘Gluten’ form and one who is Jesus in a ‘reduced or Gluten Free’ form? His unique answer was as Calvin claims, “the bread remains.” I have this in writing from him to me as the Prior of St Mary’s Kansas.
The “accidents” of bread remain, which include the effects of allergy or disease reaction from consumption. This is what Trent teaches. Since gluten makes up more than 50% of a grain of wheat, it can’t be completely removed to make bread, because “gluten free” wheat is not true wheat. As long as there is at least a trace of gluten in the flour used to make the bread, that bread is capable of being transubstantiated. Gluten-free bread is not.
The list includes none of the prominent liberal priests, which is a relief. Does anyone have some information on the candidates? Any positive or negative indications?
I was expecting someone from Switzerland, but I was not expecting two Frenchmen, one of whom comes from a notable family, possibly French nobility (Bp. de Galarreta comes from Spanish nobility). Also, they all come from large (probably all Traditional Catholic) families.
Interesting! I thought Bernard de Lacoste (the director of Écône) was going to get picked.
Anyway, that doesn't change what sound theology says about consecrations without Apostolic mandate:

Could you quote his exact statement?
All the accidents of the bread and wine remain (the appearance, the smell, the taste), but not the substance.
