Keep in mind, Lx, that the Church teaches that, like our body and our blood are together, Christ's Body and Blood can never be separate. Should one only receive the Eucharist under "one kind" (like the Body), they still receive both substances.

The Council of Trent, I believe, addressed this rather specifically.

The money quote is: The Churches teach...

Matthew 26:17-30 (New International Version) Page Options Matthew 26:17-30 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

Hmm, Jesus, didn't combine the two.

Let's talk about the joke of transubstantiation. So, when a believe takes of the bread, it is actually transformed into the body of Christ. Great, let's have someone fast for a week and take communion, then we'll extract this bit of Christ's flesh, remove the nucleus and plant it in a fertilized egg and implant it into a female, voila, we have now cloned Christ.

You and I think a lot alike!
