"No; the RCC tells us that."I don't intend to get into a debate over authority with you. Catholics believe that Jesus instituted His Church and that Church is the Catholic Church. In it He provided a teaching authority. That authority tells us the sense and meaning of Scripture. What you determine to be symbolic, "this is my body", we hold to be literal.
Peace be with you

What you determine to be symbolic, "this is my body", we hold to be literal. Sums it up quite well.
Jesus, actually standing in front of His disciples, holding as chunk of bread, saying "This is my body" does kinda make a fella's brain do mental flip-flops.

What you determine to be symbolic, "this is my body", we hold to be literal. The converse is equally true.
