And just when did Rome decide that 'the Real Presence' was in the Holy Eucharist to begin with?
>>>And just when did Rome decide that ‘the Real Presence’ was in the Holy Eucharist to begin with?
Tweren’t Rome that decided to begin with. That would be Christ, c.33-34, re-iterated by St. Paul in his epistles and in other early Church documents, and officially in councils from the then up to the present.
I believe it is accurate to say most Christians today, including non-Catholics, believe in the Real Presence.
The belief in the Real Presence is near ubiquitous throughout the history of Christianity - until Zwingli, who parted from his fellow Protestants on this issue. Most Protestants didn’t follow him in this new doctrine.
When did you or your denomination decide against the Real Presence? Does it go back to Zwingli or is it a latter offshoot?
