NOT mystical...It’s real..that is if you ae a believing Catholic.

It IS the Lord’s supper.

Would non-Catholics please restrict their comments to their “opinions” and not make your own definitve statements of Catholic dogma.

Other than that...no problem.

I'm Catholic. Still, we should always make sure to specify it's our opinion if we aren't quoting the catechism, practically.

I would maintain that it IS the mystical body and blood. Mystical means it's a mystery, and we have a mystic faith. We don't know how the creatures of bread and wine are transubstantiated into the Body and Blood, we just know that He told us it is, and we believe him. To your other point, you're probably right. It's the sacrifice of the Mass, it's the Holy Eucharist, it's the Holy Communion, it's the Supper of the Lamb, it's the Passover, and it's the Lord's supper. Protestants just seem to be limited to that final meaning.
