"Do you believe in transubstantiation? That strictly obeys the word of the Bible."

Great point, Council. When I talk with people on this topic, I use the line, "When Christ said 'This is my Body', we Catholics don't have to debate what the meaning of "is" is.

Most non-catholics do not know that Catholic doctrines are the most literal translations of the Bible.

Great point. No member of the Church, no cleric, no council can alter one jot or tittle of the Deposit of Faith, including Sacred Scripture. When God say No Divorce, He meant NO DIVORCE. Therefore the Church has never and will never allow divorce. There are many more examples, yours is central and key. Thank you.

How do you explain John 6:63?
