If God, the creator of the universe holds a loaf of bread in His hands and says "THIS IS MY BODY"...then it is.
You would doubt that????

The tacky answer:
>> “If God, the creator of the universe holds a loaf of bread in His hands and says “THIS IS MY BODY”...then it is.” <<
.
But it wasn’t”God the creator of the universe” speaking!
It was Yeshua the man, teaching his fellow men the meaning of a tradition that his people had kept since Abraham had honored the Melek Zedek.
But I would never expect a catholic to grasp that, so I’m not greatly disappointed in your miss.
