| Seer777 (OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 534086 United States07/07/2022 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How the Church Saved the Wine Industry During Prohibition Quoting: Seer777 Catholic churches need wine. It’s written in the Code of Canon Law that uncorrupted grape wine be served during communion. But sacramental wine is more than just fermented juice; it’s a stand-in for the blood of Christ and his sacrifice. And in America, the history of this sacred wine, and the destiny of those who make it, was ironically shaped by a law that deemed alcohol decidedly profane: Prohibition. The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution banned the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol, and the accompanying Volstead Act enabled the government to enforce that ban. David Blair, the commissioner of internal revenue from 1921 to 1929, was in charge of regulating the alcohol ban, and he was a strong, even fanatical supporter of the Prohibition cause. In the run-up to Prohibition, he stated that every bootlegger should be stood up before a wall and shot to death. He also encouraged people to anonymously report their law-breaking neighbors. But in 1922, Blair removed the ban from sacramental wine, the Yorkville Enquirer reported, allowing priests to use wine in religious services. Reports from newspapers at the time seem to suggest that even before Blair eased up the ban for priests, local officials had been allowing church leaders the use of wine in their sacraments (doctors could also prescribe it with a special prescription pad). Very quickly, religious permits began to operate as a loophole for the young wine industry growing in California [link to vinepair.com (secure)] I wonder if Carry Nation had lived long enough to see the fruits of her driving cause, having directly created the mafia and untold violence, death, and pain..if she would have reconsidered her views and not spent her life trying to ban alcohol. I wonder if when she died she saw her future 'assisted kill' number. [link to youtu.be (secure)] [link to youtu.be (secure)] Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits. Fanatics will never learn that, though it be written in letters of gold across the sky. It is the prohibition, that makes anything precious. ~Mark Twain [link to youtu.be (secure)] Thread: Texas Pastor Under Fire For Saying Every Homosexual Should Be Lined Up Against A Wall And Shot In The Head The guy they put in charge of enforcing Prohibition, said the same thing about those who drank alcohol. Quoting: Seer777 He wanted to line them up and shoot them in the head. Intolerance comes in many flavors.

Fed-up Russians are served MOLDY burgers in their replacement McDonald's restaurants after the chain left the country due to the invasion of Ukraine Vkusno & Tochka sells moldy burgers,' Sobchak posted on her channel, adding: 'It looks like they don't quite honor the standards of McDonald's, at least in terms of product quality control. Today at least three cases were recorded of burgers with moldy buns sold to customers. Eaters have also protested that the fries are 'sad' compared with the real thing from McDonald's, which had been in Russia - then the USSR - since 1990. New packaging has replaced the old, and the Golden Arches have vanished. The CEO of Vkusno & Tochka, Oleg Paroev, said all 850 former McDonald's restaurants would be open by September under the new name. The first McDonald's in Russia opened in the middle of Moscow more than three decades ago, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was a powerful symbol of the easing of Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union.
