Of course, you'd have to give an offering first. Tokens for free Communion could replace Mass Cards. The advantage is that they wouldn't have to be confined to churches; they could be set up anywhere where people come together; Dublin Airport, Grafton Street, Croke Park, the Kaaba in Mecca. And then there's the whole area of on-line confession ... Given the current scarcity of priests, I’d go the other way and introduce Communion Dispensing Machines.

I reckon there's a huge market for blessed-for-purpose holy waters. For example – for travel “Godspeed holy water” (a mixture of holy water and Red Bull, keeps you awake on those long journeys, brings you safely home); for good performance in exams why not “Godknows Holy Water” (same content as the Godspeed, different label) etc.. what do you reckon?

Throw in a few yokes and EVERYONE would be celebrating Christ's Sacrifice,although I suggest holding it after midnight on Saturday and instead of hymns,some repetitive rhythmic beats played at loud volume.. A church wouldn't be a fitting venue really so possibly some kind of specially built auditorium with a powerful sound system... Wait a minute!! Tangy Cheese Dorito Host with Communion Jager-Bombs…

It sounds better than it is. Having to bless yourself and put an entire steak into your mouth is no mean feat. Then the person behind you gets impatient waiting for you to chew and swallow. Mass regularly takes 6 hours, directly attributable to the steak communions. In my parish we are apportioned sirloin steak at the alter. It sounds better than it is.

Generally, it's whatever the Rector has in the kitchen. Wafers are against the rules, though some places have switched to them.

So one day at home he wrapped a sheet around himself and spread another on a table, and we all crowded round for the ceremony. The best bit, and the only bit I remember well, was Communion: since he was just a young lad with no supply of official Catholic wafers, he handed out Silvermints! He conducted the rest of the Mass to a minty aroma and the sound of crunching sweets.
