Catholics like to have their cake and eat it too.
It’s another one of those situations where say something out of both sides of their mouth so no matter what a non-Catholic says, they can always tell them they’re wrong.
It is not cake, it is unleavened bread until the consecration at which point it becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity or our Lord Jesus Christ.
You would think that someone that claimed to have been Catholic would know that. The prots are the ones that use cake, cookies, oyster crackers etc...
