“The Catholic Church teaches that once consecrated in the Eucharist, the elements cease to be bread and wine and actually become the body and blood of Christ, each of which is accompanied by the other and by Christ’s soul and divinity. The empirical appearance and physical properties are not changed, but for Catholics, the reality is.”
It is a Roman teaching, and you correctly post “but for Catholics, the reality is.”
Of course, it either is or it isn’t.
The Bible does not teach it is transformed, but you correctly state that your church teaches it is. If you accept that fine.
“The Bible does not teach it is transformed, but you correctly state that your church teaches it is. If you accept that fine”.
No, the Bible says it is the blood and body of Christ. Pardon me for being not calling the blood and body of
Christ a saltine cracker and bottle of grape juice.
PS: “My Church” is God’s Church, i.e., the CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Still perking along after 2,000 years. How long has your
“church” been around?
