I believe that the Eucharist is Christ and that the priest confects the Eucharist.

You believe it is a symbol and since I was once a protestant I guess I can understand why. When the only thing you have to follow Christ is a book then of course you cannot believe in anything else. But what really mystifies me is since we don’t have all of the writings of the apostles, how can you know what is missing?

As John Cardinal Newman put it when he converted to the Catholic Church, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”

You are not going to change my mind and I’m sure that I am not going to change yours.

"As John Cardinal Newman put it when he converted to the Catholic Church, “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.”"

As Bob Davis said when he converted from Catholicism to faith in Jesus Christ, alone, "It was like I was in a fog. All they said was trust us, we are the true Church. We know everything and we are the way. Then I was rescued by Jesus. Now, I disavow all of their heresy."
