The answer is simple

transsubstaniation

trans = transfer
substantiation = substance

Catholic believe that the bred (host) and wine are indeed transferred into the substance of the Body and Blood of Christ.

No need to bash those beliefs.

“Catholic believe that the bread (host) and wine are indeed transferred into the substance of the Body and Blood of Christ.”

All Christian Churches believed this for more than a millenium and a half. All Christian Churches dating back more than 500 years still do.
Folks, who do not believe this, are not Christian in the historical sense of the word. Not to say that they don’t believe many of the same things about Christ as do Christians, but they certainly do not share the completeness of Christian belief. Obama is a good example of this. Anyone can call himself a Christian.
