This may sound “clean” and pure to the Catholic, to believe that a man who is not even a Christian, has power with God to transform elements into the literal body and blood of Christ. Not to any person with common sense, however.

Welcome to Donatism.

Forget about the priest. The priest is nothing--just a pair of hands Christ is borrowing. It's Christ who transforms the elements. And why would He turn control over the confection of the Blessed Sacrament to Satan?

“Forget about the priest.”


No doubt I already have, as I am a Protestant, and do not view Priests as being instruments of God despite their own perversions.

That's the point...There's nothing in the scriptures that tell us that Christ is going to borrow someone's hands to turn bread into his flesh; and that it will still taste, look and feel and test to be bread...Jesus never said he would transform or needed to transform anything...

It is a practice invented by men...

And then you tell us, contrary to clear scripture that this practice is required for salvation, in spite of John the apostle clearly disagreeing with you...

One definitely needs to continue searching the scriptures to get the answers that deal with these issues rather than turn it over to unbiblical traditions of men...

And how do you know the child molesting priest was not a child of the devil???
