Always interesting when Protestants start to squawk about the Catholic belief of the Eucharist. it’s not some twisting of the Gospels brought on by a rich and decadent Vatican, it goes back to the earliest days of the Church when it was still being persecuted. Just one example:
Justin Martyr (100-165): Christian philosopher and apologist
First Apology(155 A.D), chapter 66
“And this food is called among us the Eucharist of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, “This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;” and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, “This is My blood;” and gave it to them alone.”
Kinda like the church fathers were young earth creationists, only since that makes them sound like "rednecks" Catholics just say "they were men of their time" or "we know better now."
The Orthodox monk Fr. Seraphim Rose (for whom I used to have some respect) announced when he started his book Genesis, Creation, and Early Man that he wasn't going to get into the age of the universe because he didn't the fathers were into YEC. Then when he did his research and found just how many fathers were YEC's he was completely dumbfounded. But he still decided he wasn't going to deal with the issue.
I lost my respect for him when I read that.
