RELIGION V. HYPOCHONDRIA

Apparently religious groups are altering their worship practices to avoid inadvertently spreading swine flu.

Among the steps being taken by some churches:

Bishop Gregory Aymond of Austin, Texas, where 26 cases of swine flu infection have been confirmed, has asked priests not to offer Communion wine at Mass "until more is known about the virus.""It seems that having the public drink from the chalice is an unnecessary risk," Aymond wrote in a public letter on Wednesday (April 29).


Now, I'm not a medical doctor, and I'm not a theologian (heck I'm not even a Christian) but shouldn't swine flu be no match for the blood of Christ?


At least that's what the movies would have me believe.
