Toward a Sober Pope

Pope Benedict XVI issued a statement yesterday that, among other things, called for greater "sobriety" during Catholic Mass. When I mentioned this over the breakfast table, quick-witted and Catholic Mrs. RSI asked if that meant the Church wouldn't be using wine for mass anymore.
Myself, I think the Catholic Church would be more sober if they gave up the idea that wine and bread could be transfigured into the blood and body of Jesus.

Few things are less sober than cannibalism!
