I, and many others don’t view it that way.
It is a plain statement of Protestant theology.
No it’s not. The added comment of “not a piece of bread” is a disrespect, not a disagreement, of Catholic doctrine.
It is disagreement, to be sure.
Agreed.
But tell me that I have no business posting my views and I ask when did this become a Catholic Forum?
Post all the views you want. All I’m saying is we all need to respect opposing views.
If you are offended by statements that are not congruent with Catholic dogma, then why not post on a Catholics only forum?
I am not offended by the fact that many don’t agree the Eucharist is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Good grief man, we’ve got a bunch of Catholic’s that feel the same way. Just like you get your panties in a wad if someone makes a disparaging comment against Calvin, Catholics react the same way when the Eucharist is disrespected.

Make any disparaging remark you wish as long as it is factual and it's fine with me.

Then redirect your indignity. Expect Catholics to be Catholics, and don't get frothy at what was a very mild Protestant comment.
BTW, Protestants believe it is precisely "a piece of bread" that pictures the One Who died in our place. We adore the Person rather than the picture.
