Passages in Isaiah 58 and Amos 5 come to mind, as does this passage from Sirach 34:23-26.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If one sacrifices ill-gotten goods,<br \/>\nthe offering is blemished;<br \/>\nthe gifts of the lawless are<br \/>\nnot acceptable.<br \/>\nThe Most High is not pleased<br \/>\nwith the offerings of the<br \/>\nungodly,<br \/>\nnor for a multitude of<br \/>\nsacrifices does he forgive<br \/>\nLike one who kills a son before<br \/>\nhis father\u2019s eyes<br \/>\nis the person who offers a<br \/>\nsacrifice from the property<br \/>\nof the poor.<br \/>\nThe bread of the needy is the life<br \/>\nof the poor;<br \/>\nwhoever deprives them of it is<br \/>\na murderer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Writing in the early 1980s on the sixteenth-century figure Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas, Enrique Dussel drew upon these lines from Sirach. Las Casas was a cleric who, during the Spanish Conquest of the New World, came to recognize the crimes of the <em>conquistadores<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Dussel writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Indians of the Arimao river had to hand over to Bartolom\u00e9 part of the crops they grew and part of their working day, as a form of tribute and under the violence of domination, according to the economic system of \u201csharing-out.\u201d Bartolom\u00e9 then came to understand the \u201cmisery and slavery (of) these peoples,\u201d and to discover the \u201cblindness, injustices, and tyrannies\u201d of the <em>conquistadores<\/em>. He suddenly discovered that the \u201cbread\u201d he was about to offer had been snatched from the poor; that it was unconsumed bread; that it was murdering the Indians to deprive them of the fruit of their work\u2026 He saw the bread stained with blood.[1]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dussel argues that in the bread, Las Casas saw contained \u201cthe objectivised life of the worker, his blood, his intelligence, his efforts, his love, his enjoyment, his happiness, the kingdom.\u201d[2] This leads Dussel to offer the following reflection:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So those who offer God bread stolen from the poor give God the life of the poor as their offering. The poor is \u201cthe Son\u201d (the Indian) and the celebrant (Bartolom\u00e9, the \u201crich man\u201d) who offers this bread unjustly snatched from the poor is offering the \u201cFather\u201d (God) the very life of his Son: \u201ckill\u2013a <em>son<\/em> before his <em>father\u2019s<\/em> eyes.\u201d The father who perversely desires the sacrifice of his son, who wants his blood, cannot be a loving father, but only a bloodthirsty idol\u2013Moloch, Mammon, Money.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the text says: \u201cThe Most High is not pleased with the offering of the godless.\u201d How could he accept such an offering, which is sacrifice to the Idol, the Fetish, Satan? God does not want the life of his Son to be offered by killing him in his presence. God wants the life of the Son to be a free existence; what he justly wants in sacrifice is the denial of the death of the dead, which death is the need of the poor, the oppressed. Giving the hungry to eat, giving life back to the dead, giving life to those who lack life is the worship required by the Most High. Fetishistic worship offers the Idol stolen bread, the blood of the poor; eucharistic worship offers the Father of goodness the bread of justice, the bread that has satisfied hunger.[3]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Writing twenty years after Dussel, Vince Miller invites us to<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>consider the awkwardness of praying the offertory over bread and wine that were produced under oppressive conditions. The reference to \u201cfruit of the vine and the work of human hands is destabilizing.\u201d Where indeed does the wine being offered come from? Where do these vines grow? How are they tended? How are the humans whose hands pick the fruit from the vine treated? Anyone with even a vague knowledge of the wine industry in the United States cannot ask those questions without being unsettled.[4]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My question, then, to the world of <em>Pray Tell<\/em>: Are you aware of parishes or dioceses that have policies in place requiring the use of organic and\/or fair-trade wines for their Eucharistic celebrations? I sent out a similar inquiry in a recent edition of the newsletter for the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions; responses are still coming in but so far no diocese has indicated having any policy on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>As the conversation about ethical consumption continues to grow, it\u2019s worth considering how this issue intersects with practices as long-standing as the Eucharist. The question of where the wine comes from is not merely a theological one, but also an ethical one. We cannot separate the sacramental use of wine from the realities of the wine industry, where exploitation and environmental damage are often present. In light of this, the push for more sustainable and ethically sourced products has gained momentum in recent years. As with other sectors, consumers are beginning to demand more transparency, and this should extend to the wine used in the Eucharist as well.<\/p>\n<p>When considering options for ethically sourced wine, it&#8217;s important to turn to trusted sources that prioritize sustainability and fair labor practices. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineonline.ca\/wine-cellar.html\">trusted professionals at www.WineOnline.ca<\/a> offer a wide selection of organic and fair-trade wines, ensuring that the fruit of the vine is cultivated under conditions that respect both the land and the labor involved.<\/p>\n<p>These kinds of offerings not only meet the ethical concerns raised by such questions, but they also provide high-quality wine that can be used in various celebratory contexts, including Eucharistic ones.<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to extend this same mindful approach to their personal wine collections or event planning, <a href=\"https:\/\/circusliquorsc.com\/\">https:\/\/circusliquorsc.com<\/a>\u00a0offers an impressive selection of wines and spirits that balance quality with ethical sourcing.
