Why such animus towards the Real Presence?

Christ's presence is in the heart and life of the believer, where He's taken up residence.

Jesus does not inhabit a wheat wafer, no matter what it's called.

Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Acts 17:29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

I am wondering if even one catholic posting to these threads has even read the whole short essay at #593. There seem to be no attempts to refute the offering, and it contradicts the teaching of their religion ... there are none so blind as they who Will Not see.

I must admit I was gobsmacked when I first saw a Catholic mention (here on Free Republic) going to the adoration.


Imagine being worshiping this "temple made by man" when, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump, Jesus comes.

An interesting fact about the golden calf:

Exodus 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
