google st. ignatius. he was a bishop of Antioch and was personally taught by the Apostle John. There were unbelievers in his day as well called the Gnostics. St. Ignatius wrote around the year 100ad, that the Gnostics did not take “communion”, since they denied it was the Body of Christ. Now, this man was personally taught by St John, here you are 1,900 years later and you will deny the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist? St. Ignatius was martyred in the Roman Coliseum for his Faith. But not only St. Ignatius taught this, ALL the Church Fathers believed it and more importantly of course, Jesus said it. “This is My Body” Unless your Bible says “This REPRESENTS My Body”.

Which section of Ignatius' writings claim that??? The proven forgery section, or the highly suspect section???

It's more like here YOU are 1900 years later trying to elevate writings which are claimed to be from this Ignatius, into being par with what is widely recognized as Scripture.

Did you ever ask yourself why that wasn't done much earlier on? But never mind trying to explain it (or instructing me to google this, or google that)...I've had enough boilerplate to tide me over until next "excommunication day".
