I know lots of Catholics and none are blood drinkers. Don't they take communion? Doesn't the Catholic church teach that the cup becomes the literal blood of Christ? Catholics even quote out of John 6 to support it.

We drink wine, not blood. The term “substance” which forms part of transubstantiation was "spiritualized" by the Council of Nicaea in reference to the relationship between the Father and the Son in the Holy Trinity. So under the appearance of bread and wine, the underlying reality is the body and blood of Christ. We accept that under the reality of how bread appears to us, the physical reality is the atomic and subatomic that God has created. If He can maintain this "substance" through his creative power," why cannot the Lord Jesus keep his promise to be with us in this special way of keeping his promises by actually becoming our spiritual food as well as our physical food. ? Certainly this notion is no odder than the one that God can become man.
