Wrong. It is not merely symbolic. The transformation of literal bread and literal wine into the body and blood of Christ, or transubstantiation, is a miraculous occurrence. For the Roman Catholic, to deny the transformation is to deny the miraculous, and to place limitations on the power of God. To “consume” the body of Christ is to become a part of the body of Christ spiritually.
Impossible...Jesus himself tells YOU that whatever goes into the stomach goes out into the latrine...There is no crossover...There is no connection between the spiritual and the physical...
