Quite the contrary, it makes me even more certain that I made the right decision. No offense intended, but to me, what the Catechism refers to as the "Worship of the Eucharist"(#1378) has the uneasy feeling of idolatry. I don't of course accept even the notion of God being incarnated in a man. But the notion that God is really present in the consecrated bread and wine in such a way as to make an inanimate object worthy of latria is antipathetic to me. God is both immanent and transcendant. He is omnipresent. He is, therefore, present in the large oak tree in the park. I do not, however, worship the tree.
but He is not limited to just one location.
Do you really think He ever was?
I understand. You have said it all yourself. Accepting God as bread when you do not accept God as man is just not going to happen.
but He is not limited to just one location.
Do you really think He ever was?
No. But it seems like the Israelites in the desert had a special kind of physical presence of God, in the cloud and fire. This didn't make God not omnipresent, but it did give Him a physical Presence on earth.
In the same way, God's physical presence in the Eucharist in no way removes his omnipresence.
