When I was 16 or so, my foster family invited me to go to their Catholic church with them one time, and I didn't know that, not being Catholic, that I wasn't supposed to take the holy communion, and I took it. I was chastised for that by some other Catholics. Oops.

It happens sometimes with visistors that aren't familiar with the Catholic doctrine. I don't think you are condemned to hell for it. Maybe just a year or two in purgatory!:giggle::giggle:

You just slipped through the cracks, lol! If you are a visitor in the church, the parish priest has no way of knowing whether you were confirmed or not. They just assume that if you are Catholic, and attending mass and taking the sacraments, that you have been confirmed. Now, if you are not a visitor, and try to take the sacraments before Confirmation, there will be some trouble! :giggle:

Wow...after 25 or so years, I finally learned what really happened that day! Geez!

Please do not assume that I am, I quote your post 'cause of your response to Cheri. Let's not jump to conclusions, that's how a majority of posts in the threads get carried away.

Peace to you.

Maybe your sister is a Catholic but you are not so you are not
that knowledgeable about the practices of the Catholic church.

Where did I say I had knowledge how Catholic churches runs? I had only shared what my niece had drank at her first communion. Please do not make any more assumptions, and do not jump to conclusions. :ty:

Catholic practices and doctrine are determined by the same governing body. When you make a statement regarding an individual parrish's practices, you are also making a statement about the teaching and practices of the Church as a whole.

That's how you see it, it's not how I say it. You need to get off of making assumptions because it makes you look like an ass.
 
I know this thread is all about wine and how good it is for you? It has nothing to do with the religion. I am aware wine plays a big part in a religion setting but however, it is veering off it's course by having a debate regarding to Catholic communion with wine.

So, Please let's get back on the track and discuss how is wine good for you?

If any further posts are to be engaged into religion settings, it will be removed.

Thank You.

She was only speaking of our niece's first Communion then you jumped the gun claiming that our hearing sister wasn't Catholic all because her daughter drank the grape juice instead of wine.


Edit Sorry Jolie, did not see your post above.
 
I love cooking with wine. Sometimes, I add it to the food. :)

Seriously, I find wine to be a wonderful source of flavor for gravy, marinade, and/or stew.

Absolutely, and sauces as well. Works wonderfully as a tenderizer for meats.
 
Have you guys tried those wine coolers?
they are pretty good but soo sweet and
fattening, hehe..
I love the "Fuzzy Navel" and "Mixed Berries"
flavors! Those are soo good!!
I havent drank those since last summer and that
was before i was diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
Now,my doctor says im ok now and i can have some
sweets only occassionaly so i will have that wine cooler
this summer....:thumb:
 
Red wine may protect heart from aging’s toll

Red wine may protect heart from aging’s toll

Study in mice finds natural compound blocks decline in cardiac function


WASHINGTON - A natural compound found in red wine may protect the heart against the effects of the aging process, researchers said on Tuesday.

In their study, mice were given a diet supplemented with the compound known as resveratrol starting at their equivalent of middle age until old age.

These mice experienced changes in their gene activity related to aging in a way very similar to mice that were placed on a so-called calorie restriction diet that slows the aging process by greatly cutting dietary energy intake.

Most striking was how the resveratrol, like calorie restriction, blocked the decline in heart function typically associated with aging, according to Tomas Prolla, a University of Wisconsin professor of genetics who helped lead the study.

Scientists seek fountain of youth
Much as Spaniard Juan Ponce de Leon once searched for the mythical fountain of youth, researchers now are seeking ways to extend the quality and length of human life.

In some studies, animals given a diet with greatly reduced caloric intake have lived longer than animals with normal diets. But perpetual hunger is a steep price to pay for greater longevity, some researchers say.

Resveratrol, found in abundance in grapes and in red wine, has drawn a lot of interest from scientists and some companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, which in April said it would pay $720 million to buy Sirtris Pharmaceuticals Inc, a company that is developing drugs that mimic the effects of resveratrol.

Some studies have shown that in high doses, resveratrol extended the life span of fruit flies and worms and prevented early death in mice fed a high-fat diet.

In this study, mice were given relatively low doses compared to the earlier research, and still experienced important aging-related benefits, the researchers said.

The researchers began giving the resveratrol diet to the mice when they were 14 months old — their middle age — and followed the animals until they were about 30 months old. The researchers then conducted tests on cardiac function and on gene activity related to aging.

“Resveratrol at low doses can retard some aspects of the aging process, including heart aging, and it may do so by mimicking some of the effects of caloric restriction, which is known to retard aging in several tissues and extend life span,” added Prolla, whose study was published in the scientific journal PLoS ONE.

Using a method that permits simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes at the same time, the researchers found a huge overlap in the genes whose activity were changed by resveratrol and caloric restriction.

They looked at the heart, brain and muscles, and said that the effect of resveratrol was strongest in the heart but did prevent some aging-related changes in the other tissues.

Just because mice had these benefits does not mean people also would, although Prolla said, “I think there’s a high likelihood that our findings are applicable to humans.”

He said he expected to see a lot of studies in the coming years on the effects of resveratrol supplementation in people.

Some funding for the study came from DSM Nutritional Products, a company based in Basel, Switzerland that produces a resveratrol product called Resvida.

Madison, Wisconsin-based LifeGen Technologies, a genomics company that Prolla helped found, took part in the research.

I'm not surprise about this because I know it for a long time that red wine is good for you only if you drink moderately.
 
I've always hated wine, won't drink it, it's too sour.
