You can ask exactly why the opposite is not argued. Why would a Romanist argue FOR the bodily presence?
I think the answer is simple ... Roman doctrine REQUIRES it ... since there is no life in anyone who does not partake of it ... of necessity partaking of the eucharist is NECESSARY for salvation.
You keep using the term “Romanist” as a pejorative.
Perhaps you do not know that the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Churches all agree with the Real Presence?
I understand that John Calvin defended it as well. Perhaps just another guy following Romanist doctrine?
Are you not aware that there are many rites of the Catholic Church? Please check out the chart in this link -- for we are all Catholics -- not Romanists. LOL!
The sacred Scriptures say it plainly enough, so that one is more surprised to find it spoken against, except that the world is not inclined to receive Him Who created all things.
