[Cronos]

IWhen I first came to the RF,one of the first things I saw -- and I have seen it a hundred times or more since -- was a gross misrepresentation of our teaching on the Eucharist. I don't mind discussing -- even debating -- what we DO teach. I think it wrong for our antagonists to insist that we teach what we do not teach and to attack that untaught thing.

That is standard gameplay. Say "Caflix teach xYA" and then ask a Catholic to prove that they don't.

At no point does the accuser say what they themselves believe, at no point does that matter.

After going around in a circle for a long time, finally it is proved to the accuser that this was wrong. But the accuser does not admit to this and jumps to another topic

Par for the course.

the circle continues and then a few weeks later, the same initial question is repeated.... sigh...

Then you correctly point out that As a subset of this perversion of discourse there is the tactic of weighing in with a massive attack on ONE aspect of our Eucharistic thought and piety. And when we have brought all our troops over to meet this assault, then we are told that we think nothing of the many other aspects of the Mass. Thatis, of course, false

You forget that others think that as long as we bow down to them, we are nice, otherwise we are rude for not agreeing with their own personal interpretation -- you even have some who say quoting from the Bible is copy-pasting

Teaching on the Eucharist has been an issue ‘within’ the catholic church, both in the past to this day, so it is no surprise those who are not catholic would also find issue with how some within the catholic church view the Eucharist.
