As a Catholic I read the scripture literally. Baptism now saves you The sins you forgive are forgiven the sins you retain are retained This is my body What you bind on earth I will bind in heaven There be no schisms among you How can they preach unless they are sent?


Do you take these literally:

Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day,
But the one who eats this bread will live forever

Absolutely, and so did those diciples who walked away in disgust at such a hard saying and Christ let them go and he didn’t explain it away to the Apostles.

Do you take these literally [John 6:54-55]

Of course I do, -- why shouldn't I? This is why I go to Church every Sunday; this is also why the Reformation was such a horror visited on Christianity.
