Well I was rasied Lutheran(who also believe communion to be symbolic), but am hardly religious by any means. I'm also not a bible scholar, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the bible that says communion wafers must have at least some portion of them being wheat. I'm also not a huge fan of the roman catholic church, and what goes on under them "in the name of god." But to simply answer your question no, god doesn't care. I think the family should just flip the catholic church the bird, and say in the classis southpark style(because that's about the level of this conflict) "f_ck you guys, I'm goin home" and leave it at that. If your options are your sacrament or your life, there shouldn't be a contest. And I don't thin it's woth fighting over. Something that ridiculous, I would just shake my head at and turn my back to.
OK, so I just had my dad(who was raised catholic) read the article, and the first words out of his mouth were, "what a crock of $hit. that's pathetic." Need I say more?
I'm very proud of myself for refraining from my habitual bashing of religion, namely the catholic church.
