In catholic mass, it is wine. No substitutes, it is really a very sacred thing to catholics.

The priest has said that the full benefit is received whether one or both is taken. It is a personal decision. And funny thing is, I kind of decided myself that I would forgo the wine except for very special services...

But I just can't get it out of my head... why did he feel so strongly about what should be a personal decision, like why did he comment at all?
