Actually that is exactly true. The Catholic Church takes the words of Christ literally. The Eucharist is His body and blood and we gnaw it. He used the word gnaw. When many of His followers couldn’t stomach that teaching, they left, and He let them go— because He meant exactly that.
Again, there are imperfect people in every church, Clemenza, but the dogma of the Catholic Church follows Christ’s words to the letter. And that’s no laughing matter.
