We do NOT have the nerve to think we can CAUSE the sacramental presence as though we were magicians conjuring our familiar.

Yet it is understood your Priests do just that. Forgetting that as Christians Jesus promised never to leave us, He is a constant "Presence" in our life. So attempting to claim a "real" or "physical" presence in the ritual performed actually declares He isn't there until the Priest announces He is.

Every single sentence, every single one is or contains a serious misrepresentation of Catholic dogma!

I hardly know where to begin, but the blurring of “physical” and “real” indicates a lack of comprehension, as does the silly contention that we think or imply that sacramental presence is the only mode of our Lord's presence.

It would save time if your side actually made an effort to understand what we think before denouncing it. You all could aim your objections so much more precisely.
