Luther and Zwingli almost came to physical blows over it.

1,500 years of Christian Faith of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. Then, none...

For some. I think this explains Bibliolatry a bit. Substitution.

Just not so ..there was no real consensus on the Lords supper and men were free to believe yes or no ..a close reading of the church fathers show some thought Christ was spiritually present not the platonic view of a physical presence ..it was not doctrine that was required until the Lateran council

So the question is only the "real presence" if one does not believe that the spiritual is real

1,500 years of Christian Catholic Faith of the Real Presence in the Eucharist.

Fixed it.....

Do not conflate Catholic with Christian. One does not by default mean the other.
