[daniel1212]

You are SO ill informed, for over 1,600 years, ALL Christians taught and believed in transubstantiation,

Wrong again, for as shown again and again, the Catholic Eucharist is manifestly absent in the life of the NT in Scripture, which writings are interpretative of the Gospels. See post 55 and here by the grace of God before you try to respond.

Moreover, believing that bread and wine are the body and blood of Christ even though the elements, look, taste and would scientifically test to be ordinary bread and wine is hardly purely literal. Imagine if we held that the body and blood of Christ on the cross was real but imperceptible to the senses and scientific testing.

That is exactly what the Catholic church teaches...Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ.....under the appearance of bread and wine.....no confusion whatsoever!
