To Catholics, the Eucharist represents the body and blood of Jesus

That's not what I was taught. The Eucharist is the body and blood.

"The Eucharist is the body and blood."

That's what I was taught, too.

EXACTLY - thanks for noting this.

THe UK Guardian did a piece on the new Vatican guidelines and it made a similar faux paus - "Catholics symbolically recieve the body of Christ at Comunion" or some similar silly distortion of what is actually a very very very simple belief:

we receive the actual "body, blood, soul and divinty" of Christ when we receive Communion
