A miracle? A mistake? A joke?

Archbishop asks the President: "Are you sure this is not whiskey?"

An unusual incident happened on March 31 during a Mass at the C0-Cathedral of St John in Valletta, Malta. Archbishop Scicluna was celebrating a Mass with a few other monsignors. When he came to communion and drank the Precious Blood from the chalice, he noticed something different with the taste of wine. He asked a monsignor next to him to taste it, and right away they realized it was not wine, but whiskey! Was it a miracle? Was it an April Fool’s joke? Was it a mistake? Well, the sacristan claims it was a mistake, but why would he keep a bottle of whiskey in the sacristy cabinet, along with the bottles of wine to be used for consecration? It appears that the Archbishop took it lightly, and a few days later, during the Mass for the installation of the new President, when Dr. Vella and his wife brought up the gifts at the offertory procession, the Archbishop smiled and asked the President ‘Are you sure it’s not whiskey?’ The story running around is that if Jesus could turn water into wine at the wedding at Cana, why can’t an Archbishop turn wine into whiskey?
