[P-Marlowe]

Of course God is everywhere, but Christ himself has deigned to become physically present in the Blessed Sacrament.

Do you have scriptural authority for that?

You bet! Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 6:53.

And remember that after Christ said, "Verily I say unto you: unless ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you," many of his disciples fell away. "This is an hard saying - who can hear it?" If it was "merely symbolic," why did Christ not say so? And why did his followers have such a hard time with it?
