Wow, I just got a chance now to read some of these posts on this thread, and I have to tell you that the folks at the web site of this reference you are using here are wildly misinterpreting "St. Clement of Alexandria" just like they misinterpret "John 6".

Who exactly do you think "The Word" is, anyway?    (The answer: He is Jesus, who was made flesh, just like the Bible says, and just like Catholics say when partaking of the Word in the Holy Eucharist.)

Read these links (for starters) to get a much clearer understanding of what St. Clement of Alexandria actually was saying and believed about the Holy Eucharist:

Early Church Fathers on the Eucharist

Early Christians Believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

Christ in the Flesh - Early Christians Testify on the Eucharist

St. Clement of Alexandria (150-216 A.D.)

(I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I'll have to check back maybe late tomorrow to see if you read these clarifying sources, and what you think of his clear expressions.)
