Easy. The Real Presence.

The Holy See has publicly "denied" the Real Presence? That's news to me.

I never said the Holy See has "publicly" denied anything. They never do that. They change our religion in practice and punish those who don't go along. They do not discuss the changes. They never mention the Real Presence. If you ask the bishops why showing adoration by kneeling for Communion is prohibited, they will not answer that it's because they no longer believe in the Real Presence. They tell you it's to keep church traffic moving. They have torn out the communion rails, they have eliminated genuflections, they have ordered Communion in the hands, they have shunted-aside the tabernacles--and in every instance they will give some banal excuse. Taken individually, each excuse seems fairly plausible. But taken together they are an affront to the Catholic belief in the Real Presence. These people are very subtle, very sneaky. Yet if you examine the Novus Ordo line for line and rubric for rubric and compare it to the old Mass, you will comprehend better the shocking denials of traditional Catholic dogma in favor of the Protestant perspective.
