YOUR Post 772

" But most of those who were present, by not understanding Him, were offended; for in hearing these things, they thought only of flesh, that which themselves were. But the apostle says, and says what is true, “To be carnally-minded is death.” The Lord gives us His flesh to eat, and yet to understand it according to the flesh is death; while yet He says of His flesh, that therein is eternal life. Therefore we ought not to understand the flesh carnally.” -Augustine, Homilies on the Gospel of John, Tractate XXVII.1

Now Correct me if I am Wrong But did you not post this to try to prove Augustine did not believe in the real presence. So I showed you he did believe in the True body .

"AUGUSTINE “Christ was carried in his Own Hands when, referring to His Own Body, he said, ‘This is My Body’ [Matt. 26:26]. For he carried that Body in His Hands” (Explanations of the Psalms 33:1:10 [A.D. 405])."

I post the church fathers because it is what Catholics hold as scripture. It’s not what I hold as scripture. Besides, Augustine said not to think of it carnally. It is not His carnal flesh like the Catholics tell us it is per Augustine. He was not holding His carnal flesh. Catholics teach that the host changes to His physical i.e. carnal flesh.
