Lol, GeronL, you should be in my RCIA class. You'd learn that Communion is not cannibalism, because cannibalism means eating parts of a dead human person's body and is abhorred by God (this,
inter alia, is what gave the Canaanites a bad name); whereas Communion means eating:
- nor parts, but the whole of a Person
- not just "body," but Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity
- it's not a human person, it's a Divine Person who has a human nature; and
- this is not abhorred by God, it is commanded and required by God.
And so you see Holy Communion is not cannibalism: not even analogous, not even close. It differs from cannibalism in every respect.
Plus, the only humanly decent response to Jesus when He says, "Take and eat, this is My Body," is not "You must be nus."
It's "Amen."
