"They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes. " --St. Ignatius (110 A.D.)

Okay...you DO know that who Ignatius was referring to as "they" was the Gnostics who denied Jesus HAD a flesh and blood body, right? Seeing as the RC dogma of "transubstantiation" didn't even become "official" RC dogma until the Fourth Council of the Lateran, which convened beginning November 11, 1215, you can hardly claim honestly that the "Protestants" were who Ignatius was talking about!
