[Cronos]

I get told they are too lengthy and they are not read.

Now besides not reading the Bible, you're not reading the reply posts -- no one said what you said. On the contrary, I told you Springfield, as with the Bible, you need to read in entirety, not excerpts

and So why don't you stop reading excerpts and actually read the details?

Because you did NOT read what Pope Gelasius actually said in entirety, what he DID say was

This Wisdom ministers to us the food of the Incarnation of Christ through which we are made sharers of the divine nature. Certainly the sacraments of the Body and Blood of Christ that we receive are a divine reality, because of which and through which we 'are made sharers of the divine nature'(1 Pt 1:4). Nevertheless the substance or nature of bread and wine does not cease to exist. And certainly the image and likeness of the Body and Blood of Christ are celebrated in the carrying out the Mysteries." Pope Gelasius I[regn A.D. 492-496],Tract on the two natures against Eutchyes & Nestorius

So, first read it before making a statement. The Body of Christ being in the bread is not negated

Do you believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist or not?

Please stop telling me what I did or didn’t do. Do you have access to my laptop camera? No. Is God telling you what I am doing or not doing? Please tell me if he is, but he will know and you should know that I read the entire quote you presented and found no hint of transubstantiation, but rather found further confirmation of the use of analogy. Are you a mind reader? I thought that was against the rules here. I don’t ever call in admins to help me, but I think you should know there are excellent reasons for keeping the discussion cordial, academic, and not personal. I understand your passion and respect it, but a gentle spirit is really the more Christian way to do this.
