Ooooops, pingety ping to that post to which this is a reply because I mentioned you in it.

You seem to have harumphed over that, glossed over that, over glibly somehow . . . in spite of the REALISM 101 mini-lecture etc.

I don’t actually see that

THE SHEEPNESS issue/quality/state/reality

solves the REAL PRESENCE issue at all.

THAT ISSUE . . . even as well and masterfully, very eruditely, loftily laid out by you . . .

merely makes the weasel words more academically toned and lofty sounding.

There are not a lot of options, it seems to me.

EITHER the bread and wine are symbolic

OR

they are literal.

Slicing and dicing the uhhhhhh “REALITIES”

with Greek loftiness doesn’t seem to me to change a thing.

It merely sounds like the RC position is to say—standing on the Greeks, therefore, that,

THE REAL PRESENCE IS LITERAL

EXCEPT WHEN IT’S NOT—WHICH IS—

ANY TIME IT’S TASTED, TOUCHED, SMELLED OR ANALYZED

—WHICH PRETTY MUCH DOES AWAY WITH ANY COMMON NOTIONS OF . . .

DRUM ROLL . . .

LITERAL!
