>The Church teaches that the Eucharist is “substantially” the body and blood in a very literal sense.<<
Cynical Bear:
“Yea, they use the word “transubstantiation” which is derived from the Latin “trans or across” and “substantia or substance”. In other words they believe that the “bread and wine” are changed in substance into the literal flesh and blood of Christ. So Catholics must believe that they are literally eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ. And I am quite familiar with the philosophical terms property and substance used by the RCC.
It was adopted by the 4th Lateran Council (A.D. 1215), formalized at the Council of Trent (A.D. 1545-63), and was reaffirmed at the Second Vatican Council (1962-65).
The concept of literally eating Christ’s flesh and blood is pagan materialistic methodology which God condemned often.”

Stop using Church writing to defend a mistaken belief.
A person “fully” receives the “risen” Christ, His body, blood, soul and divinity in the consecrated host.
How can that be? God wants everyone to believe in this
divine gift, He wants you to receive ALL of Him. Stop
thinking in the human way, think SUPERNATURAL.
IT’S NOT CANNIBALISM. You are limiting God, He wants you
to accept on faith He can do this friend.
ROFL! The RCC says Catholics are “literally” eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ but when scripture is used they cry “not really”? I use the writings of the RCC to show hypocrisy contained in its own teachings. By repeating the mantra of the RCC those who take truth from scripture will not be swayed into believing the error of the RCC. >>IT’S NOT CANNIBALISM. You are limiting God, He wants you to accept on faith He can do this friend.<<
If Catholics keep listening to the RCC instead of scripture they are replacing God with the RCC. Don’t think for a minute that I will be deluded by the hypocrisy taught by the RCC.
Really don’t understand this kind of FR thread. You will never convince those who hate Catholicism that they are wrong and should return or enter the Church. They do not have the inclination to do so within their hearts. These threads only give them a forum to spew their hate. You cannot change someone who is immersed in hate. They will never listen. They will never even admit that a tiny grain of what you say is correct.
