The world’s largest religion has issued an order banning gluten-free communion bread.

The new ruling said that the bread utilized in the celebration of the Eucharist during Roman Catholic masses must not be gluten-free – although it may be made from genetically modified organisms, the Vatican has ruled.

In a letter to bishops, Cardinal Robert Sarah said the bread can be low-gluten.

However, Cardinal Sarah emphasized that there must be enough protein in the wheat to make it without additives.

Commenting over the resolution and rule, the cardinal said it is needed because the bread is now sold in supermarkets and on the internet.

It can be remembered that Roman Catholics believe bread and wine served at the Eucharist are converted into the body and blood of Christ through a process known as transubstantiation.

The wine used must also be “natural, from the fruit of the grape, pure and incorrupt, not mixed with other substances”, said Cardinal Robert Sarah of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.

The letter has issued upon the request of Pope Francis.

As of now, there are about 1.2 billion Roman Catholics around the world.
