Again, I don't buy it. I'm a cradle Catholic and I don't know a single Catholic, nominal or observant, who simultaneously claims that transubstantiation is real but manna never existed.

You must be one of those illiterate Mayan peasants. How do you manage to use a computer? [joke]

Dear Zionist Conspirator,

My own experiences are more akin to ArrogantBustard's and wideawake's.

I went to the Catholic University of America taking 24 credits of religion and philosophy. The folks who would deny manna in the desert usually found a way to denigrate or reduce (or eliminate) doctrines like transubstantiaion, or even the Resurrection.

I had a professor who insisted that the "Resurrection" was a psychological event in the minds and hearts of the apostles and disciples.

I can't speak for someone like that. I don't really know where he got the idea that he was actually Catholic.

Folks like me (maybe I'm a little bit of a fundamentalist Catholic??) believe in transubstantiation. And manna in the desert. In the Resurrection (you know, where Jesus stopped being physically dead, and walked around, eating, chatting, teaching) as well as in the parting of the Red Sea. In the Assumption of Mary as well as the Assumption of Elijah.
