So Catholics don't eat Jesus' flesh and drink his blood???
The implication in the post was that we drink blood under its own appearance. Yes I drink the Lord’s blood and eat the Lord’s Body in the form of the Host or Bread & Wine. No wait I need to make that clearer. I gnaw, rend, relish, asunder the Lord’s Bodyand Blood, Soul and Divinity under the species of Bread & Wine. And I do so because that is what Jesus told His followers to do. I do so because that is what Christians of the Early Church did. If the Eucharist is only a symbol (important as that may be) then His death on the cross was only symbolic.
I say both contentions are heresy and insult our Lord.
