"Claiming they are only ‘forms’ of worship and not saying you truly believe they miraculously turn into the REAL body and blood of Christ."

Ah. Glad you explained that, because that's not what I said; neither is it what I believe.

What I said was, "We worship Jesus Christ, really and substantially present --- Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity--- under the forms of bread and wine."

The first phrase, italicized, means I truly believe the bread and wine miraculously turn into the REAL body and blood of Christ.

The second phrase, bolded, means that the forms (appearances) remain the same. Which they pretty obviously do.

I did not say anything about "forms of worship," whatever that means.

True; but all I replied with originally, in 2554, was Forms??; because I didn't know what it meant either.

Glad you explained in more detail.

Now I know a little more of WHAT you believe.

I still don't get WHY you believe it; other than the long time hearing of This is my body" as being LITERAL; not symbolic.
