You can explain the Real Presence in philosophical terms, but you don’t have to, just like one can take advantage of your verbal presence without being able to explain how the Internet works.

Of course you don’t believe in the Real Presence: you don’t think that Jesus’ words “this is my body” were meant literally. In fact, editor-surveyor thinks it’s a “bisquit”.

.
False!

Presence of his Spirit is very real.

.
Jesus himself assured them that it was not literal when he said “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

I don’t know how he could have made it any clearer.

Because most Catholics do not have the Spirit, they do not understand this, in the same way that the disciples that said “this is an hard saying” did not and could not understand. It just was not given to them of the Father to understand it. But eleven of the twelve understood it.

Of course we do. Christ is really present spiritually. That's what the Bible tells us. Pray for discernment.
