“Hey, with all due respect...and I mean that sincerely, you are not speaking the truth.”

What I said is absolutely and irrefutably true.

“Please do your research on history before popping off with stuff like that.”

I have a PhD in history. I’ve done the research. There are only a tiny handful of Protestant groups (mostly Lutherans and Anglicans) who have any belief in the Real Presence to speak of. All Protestant groups through the dismissal of real bishops, altering their doctrines, altering their ordinations, and various upheavals, have lost whatever sacrificial priesthood they started with - as most of them readily admit. Hence, no sacrament. Hence, no body and blood. It’s just that simple. Only the Swedish Lutherans were claiming otherwise and they have take care of that themselves: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/50-years-of-swedish-women-priests/

I did the research. Maybe you should do it before you falsely accuse others of not having done it. And hey, with all due respect...and I mean that sincerely.

>>Actually exactly none of them do.

1) The vast majority don’t believe they do.
2) None of them can - for they have no sacrificial priesthood from Christ<<

Your PhD contradicts itself. You said, “exactly none of them do” which is an absolute falsehood. Not trying to start a fight, that blanket statement above is absolutely not true. Priest in the Anglican church do recognize apostolic succession as well and have it documented throughout the generations.

So, throwing out the PhD card does not impress and it doesn't prove you know a thing.

So, joke for ya. What do you call a doctor that made “D's” in medical school? Yep, you guessed it....a doctor. Jesus is probably up in heaven looking down on believers (you and I) and shaking His head, "after all these years, those poor saps still don't get it, forgive them Father." I am sincere when I say, have a blessed day my Christian brother.
