Why do think people have stopped believing in transubstantiation?
Because they were never told WHY they should believe in it. Because they don’t know WHY the Church preaches against Artifical Contraception, abortion, and homosexual “marriage”. Same thing with women priests. Just because a bunch of twenty-somethings who have never cracked the Catechism think it’s a good thing doesn’t make it so.
Do you believe in the Real Presence?
Why do you keep demanding statistics on seminary enrollment, etc., when they have absolutely no bearing on your position? Even if there was a 1:1 ratio of priest to parishioner you’d still be stomping your feet about this non-issue. And if it truly is such an onerous doctrine, it begs the question, why continue to attend, contribute to, and raise your children in a Catholic parish when so many other enlightened denominations are waiting with open arms? You don’t believe in papal infallibility, so why call yourself a Catholic? (saving face with grandma, or what?)
