Where do you dream up this nonsense?
Nobody is attempting to suppress the dogma of the Real Presence.
For my part, I'm not so sure any longer.
Some recent polls suggest only 30% of Catholics believe in Real Presence. To be sure 1) they don't seem to differentiate between regular mass-goers and not and 2) Modernity itself conspirees against any belief in the supernatural.
But it strikes me that there is an ongoing effort to reconstitute sacred architecture and liturgy in ways which demean the Eucharist, especially at the expense of a focus on the congregation: moving the tabernacle out of the central place of honor; frowning upon more humble ways of receiving it (kneeling, or on the tongue); standing during consecration; omission of the canon; and so forth. I don't know if it's a conspiracy; but if some prelates, clerics and liturgists truly believe in the Real Presence, they have an odd way of showing it. Deep down, you wonder what some really believe.
But I must also say that the rise of adoration chapels and perpetual adoration - even in many seemingly liberal dioceses and parishes - is encouraging as a counter-trend.
