  1.

And if you come from a tra\u00addi\u00adtion, as I do, that believes Jesus is actu\u00adal\u00adly present in the wine (and the bread), it seems per\u00adti\u00adnent to point out that that guy is in the busi\u00adness of heal\u00ading dis\u00adease, not spread\u00ading it.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
