Irrelevant. The Church doesn’t decide what its members truly believe, or what they say they believe when asked. Deciding what to teach and telling the flock what they are to believe is simply not the same.
The Real Presence couldn’t be more obvious in Holy Scripture
Repeating such delusional assertions will never make it true. In contrast, as explained and shown, the Catholic Real Presence is obviously absent in the life of the NT church. And it is Scripture and its history that judges extraScriptural history, and not vice versa as with Catholicism.
You disagree, and have your own opinion. That’s fine for you, I don’t put much credence in your authority; nothing personal.
Your opinion of my authority is irrelevant, but the veracity of my argument is what matters, which rests upon the degree of warrant from Scripture - which is supremely authoritative - and in contrast to your assertion, only the veracity of my substantiated argument is shown to warrant credence.
If you do not want to see more, stop posting such outlandish provocative assertions as that belief in the Catholic Real Presence was re-iterated by Paul in his epistles, and that most Christians belief in it today.
>>>"The Church doesn’t decide what its members truly believe.."
The Church teaches doctrine - which is not determined by poll. Or is it in your church? This is a really obvious error in your logic. Does your denomination have a Confession, a Statement of Principles, or What We Believe? Or do you take a survey to determine what it will teach?
What is your church's confession? How was it determined?
St. Paul did not survey those in the Church at Corinth and teach them the results. No, he rebuked their divisions and heretical beliefs. ("For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you..")
And then he taught them right doctrine, including discerning the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.
