Evangelicals see the wafer as representing the Body of Christ also.

I'm not amused. Some people are in for a rude awakening.

Evangelicals see the wafer as representing the Body of Christ also.

However, for Roman Catholics, the Eucharist IS the Body of Christ, and this is a very important distinction which makes NBC's actions all the more objectionable.

Many faiths use it to represent the Body of Christ, but dogma dictates in Catholicism that it BECOMES the Body of Christ. It is NOT merely representative. The Host IS Jesus.

I'm a Southern Baptist (or at least I used to be) and unless something has changed radically since my youth, Baptists don't see it as the Body of Christ.
