Time to review your own catechism.

He is correct... anything other than that is idolatry. YOu cannot expect the King of Kings to leave His throne in heaven to manefest himself into a manmade wafer/loaf of bread to be consumed by humans...That is cannibalism and symbolic of human sacrifice which is condemned by God. So, why would God go against himself. ".. A kingdom divided shall not stand..."

Anybody can go to mass and partake of bread and wine then go about their business the rest of the week as though the Eucharist had no other relevance to him....but it is the ongoing practise of faith and the cultivation of God's spirit in one's life that ultimately defines one as having the presence of Christ in their life...the Eucharist when taken in " a careless or unworthy manner brings damnation unto the partaker, for this cause many are sick and many are already sleeping"(apostle Paul)

The Eucharist is Christ's body and blood poured out for us and to partake in it is to do so in "remembrance"(his word for it) of him. Christ moved beyond this pouring and breaking of himself for it is in His Resurrection that we find our own Salvation....we sorrow at his death brought about by our sin through the observance of the Eucharist but we rejoice at his Resurrection believing in the hope of our own collective resurrection; arising on that day with the same glorified bodies that our Saviour now possesses.

No sir...I think you need to review your own PERSONAL CATECHISM!
