Thank you for posting. This is an item that devides Catholics and non-Catholics, but should not. Catholics say the bread and the wine ‘become His body and His blood’ (transubstantiation). Non-Catholics say the bread and the wine ‘represent His body and His blood (transliteration).

Starting with Father Martin Luther...Protestants believe what they want to believe, each person getting to interpret Scripture as he wants. There's no Apostolic Tradition either. The item that divides Catholics and non-Catholics is HUGE: the papacy/Peter, Transubstantiantion, priesthood, the ONE interpretation of Scripture by the Church.
The biggest divide IS the Eucharist. Without that how can Protestants even consider themselves Christian when they don't even believe Jesus' words at His Last Supper?
Tansliteration? Sad.

What really blows my mind is when some think they do not have to confess their sins in any fashion because Christ did it all. Just shocking! The Apostle John warns about this in his epistles.
