[edit] Pagan Origin

I heard there was a pagan ritual before the Catholic Mass where a round disk wafer with "IHS" on it was eaten as "food for the soul". At this time IHS stood for an Egyptian Sun god trinity, Isis, Horus, and Seb. I'll need to find some more information about this. It should not be considered "anti-Catholic" to research into the origins of the rites and symbols of the Roman Catholic church. It should be common knowlege that the secret to Rome's success was her way of ecumenically absorbing the cultures and religious practices the nations she came in contact with.

I'm sorry, but that's straight-up Jack Chick propaganda, which no real scholar takes at all seriously... AnonMoos 18:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Definately... Why would the english names for those three gods be represented on the wafer? :) Beetlecat 00:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
