Popman says:

Nothing in the Greek text that translates into bread actually turning into the Body of Christ I find no support for it in the Bible based on the actual Greek words

Perhaps one more learned than I can patiently explain the Biblical basis for the Holy Eucharist?

Always Right says:

Much of Catholic teachings are only loosely based on scripture and rely heavily on opinions of Popes.

Again, perhaps those in the Catholic Caucus with patience and charity can correct the errors here?

Then there is the horrific story to comment on.

Funny you should mention that — I was wondering about that, myself. I hope this isn’t a stupid question: it isn’t meant to be...

Is it so, that the Host turns into the actual flesh (ie raw meat) of Jesus when it is consumed at Mass? And the wine turns into actual blood? That’s what my Protestant friends say that Catholics teach. Except they’re a bit more rude, calling it “cannibalism”.

If true, I must confess it takes some getting used to that idea. How does that work? Why is it so?

Can someone please set me right on this?

Thanks for the PING. However reading some of the comments posted I don't feel too patient nor chartable right now.

Plus, you can't fix stupid.
