Entry: Sake and the Latin Mass Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/sake_and_the_latin_mass#2140 Post contents: The mention of the Rites Controversy that took place between Jesuits and other Catholic missionaries in China - of which the elements used in the Eucharist were a very small part - reminds me that somewhere I recall reading that the Roman Catholic chaplain to the Young Pretender, during the rising of 1745, on occasion said mass using Scotch whisky in place of wine, when at times there was none available. So far as I know its sacramental validity was never challenged. Sent at: 2008 09 08
