    Not if you believe in transubstantiation.

    I like the story of the teetotalling priest who didn't have a problem with the communion wine because once consecrated it was not wine, it was the blood of Christ.

    In regards to philosophy of vegans vs religion: Veganism, as I understand it is the idea that humanity should be able to live just fine without exploiting animals.
    If you assume that animals and humans are distinct and separate, and that Christ was 'human', then exploiting /eating his 'body' doesn't make you non-vegan. In other words, technically, cannibals are vegans, so long as they don't top their burgers with cheese.

    Food-wise: The crackers for the eucharist, by the way, are wheaten bread. Unless you're putting venison or butter on top, you likely are ok - however many recipes call for BUTTERMILK. Ask your chef / pastor to be sure.

    How about a literal answer? Is the little wafer actually vegan?

    I would guess that it is.
