What say you?

I say you are fooling yourself into believing that the wafer is physically anything other than a wafer.

I would normally say that this would be harmless in and of itself, but when you bow down before the wafer and worship it as God, then you have traversed the divide between true Christianity and idolatry.

That's you opinion. I am only interested in people understanding what it is that they reject.

Do you think, like Mr. Murphy, that a lab test can disprove transubstantiation?

Christ would say, "This is MY BODY".

Hmmm, what you say, or what Christ says...what to choose...that's a toughie. Thanks for your opinion, but no thanks, I think I'll stick with the words of Our Lord.

but when you bow down before the wafer and worship it as God, then you have traversed the divide between true Christianity and idolatry.

But since Christ Himself has said it is His Body, those who do not adore will have a lot of "splaining" to do at judgment.

"I say you are fooling yourself into believing that the wafer is physically anything other than a wafer."

The Catholic Church teaches that the consecrated host still has the physical and chemical properties of bread. You apparently didn't realize that. Well, read and learn.
