The only time they take it literally is where Jesus says you have to eat him. Well if that was meant to be taken literally, then at the incarnation Jesus did not take on Human flesh, he only appeared to take on human flesh. In reality then John 1:14 should read: "and the Word was made bread." The "accidents" or appearances of Christ looked like a real human being, but the fact was that Jesus was nothing more than a loaf of Bread in the shape of a Jewish man.

I'm sure this makes sense to you. Unfortunately for you, no Catholic is claiming that Jesus's Incarnation is by the mechanism of transubstantiation. Neither is it claimed nor logical that God turning bread into His Body means God's body is made of bread. Try again.

So what you are saying is that when Jesus said "I am the bread" he was really speaking metaphorically?
