Well its obvious the bread is still bread and the wine is still wine after we consume it. Just plain 2 + 2 = 4 obvious. That it is a symbol of the intimate relationship we are called to with Christ is also glaringly obvious. That the context of the Last Supper is an emotionally charged heart felt scene for all Christians goes without saying.
That the Roman Catholic Church insists on mucking up this beautiful aspect of The Faith with magic is a tragedy. A great example of why our faith had to go through a reformation. It is sad that the Roman Catholic Church cannot heal itself of such misguidedness. That they top it off with actual heresy in their marianism is enough to make all heaven weep.
This is not respectful.
