The Answer is Answer would ideally include the following. The new emphasis on the holiness of the transformed wine and bread induced some women to eat only consecrated bread, which they believed literally was God; sinners who ate Christ's sacrificial body would be redeemed. These women renounced all other foods, and many of them gave their uneaten food to the poor. Other women claimed to receive the Eucharist directly from Christ, removing the need for a male priest in this sacrament and empowering the women in their devotions.
