What do you think you are accomplishing by quoting a few words I wrote, while ignoring everything else I wrote? Am I supposed to have FORGOTTEN everything I said other than the little snippet you quoted? Am I supposed to slap myself on the forehead, saying, “She trapped me”?

The Eucharist is LOADED with symbolism. Bread symbolizes flesh, because it nourishes flesh. Wine symbolizes blood. Wine comes from crushed grapes. The juice is, in a sense, the “blood” of the grapes.

Considering, however, that the Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is to be ADORED, WORSHIPED, in the full sense of the word, with the worship of LATRIA that is to be given to God alone, it is just silly to pick phrases or even ISOLATED WORDS from Catholic writings (ancient writings or posts on FR) and say: “Ah HAH! He used the word “SYMBOL”!”
