It’s a Frackin’ Cracker!
Apparently, there are many who agree, and probably wouldn't object to the professor doing this, even here on a conservative forum.
Hey, he's just being consistent in his non-literalism. Too bad so many Catholics refuse to understand this.
Oh, give me a break ZC. There’s nothing defensible about this guy.
do you ever take a break? seriously.
I don’t think you would be happy if he threatened to desecrate a Jewish temple. Show some class.
And Satan smiles – he’s got another one! Twice in John the betrayal of Christ is linked to Judas not believing the real presence:
“48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. 53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ 54 Then Jesus said to them: ‘Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.’…
65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. John 6
21 When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray me.’ 22 The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke. 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him: ‘Who is it of whom he speaketh?’ 25 He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus answered: ‘He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped.’ And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after the morsel, Satan entered into him.” John 13
The betrayal of Christ was now complete. To Judas, this was only bread and wine. Satan entered into the heart of Judas that he conquered with doubt about the word “IS”
Paul later talks about the dangers of not discerning the real presence of Christ’s in the bread:
23 “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 24 And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me. 25 In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. 26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he come. 27 Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 30 Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. 31 But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” 1 Cor 11
Many are weak, infirmed and dead in spirit for not believing.
Indeed, the devil is happy when people deny the real presence in the Eucharist:
It’s just a Frackin’ wall in Jerusalem. Why can’t I spit on it?
