John Salza needs a bit more research for when he wrote:

“The word ‘this’ (touto) is a neuter adjective. The word ‘bread’ (artos) is a masculine noun. This means that the neuter adjective ‘this’ is not referring to the masculine noun ‘bread’, because their genders do not correspond” (emphasis mine).”

He overlooks what is described. Jesus broke the bread before ottering it to the disciples, saying “This”.
“This” was not the unbroken loaf (masculine) but a piece or a fragment of the loaf (neuter).
Hence a fragment or piece of a loaf was literally “a break”.

What are you saying brother, translation? I am serious.

The fact, most Christians believe in the Real Presence
and everyone in Heaven does...this fact, doesn’t it inspire
a change in non-Catholic Christians, maybe...
