Why do you care?

 

[Mr. H.]

It's not exactly something to be made fun of or ridiculed.

if they cant tell the difference then its not true.

Tell us your understanding of the term "transubstantiation".

How do you determine that?

Understand, even if you can't distinguish between A and B, that, in itself, does not mean A and B are the same nor does it mean A and B are different.

What it means is that you lack sufficient information to draw a firm conclusion.

If you dip Hawaiian bread in grape juice... it's delicious.

Obama hates Catholics. That's why he stands idly by while they are slaughtered on the other side of the globe.

In my words: We believe spirit is a living substance and not nothing. We believe that god is very concrete present in a consecrated bread. It's better for everyone in the world to respect this belief. We remember our savior not only in words - we try to be in him and we try to take him in us in all dimensions of our existance.

There certainly seems to have been a distortion, and even a diminishing, of what Jesus said at that meal.

What is your problem?

Did Jesus say, "Every month or so when you eat bread, think of me"?

Kinda figured that's where you were going with this........ You aren't one of those who claim Catholics aren't Christians are ya?

If you've ever been to a Catholic Mass, and I'm sure you haven't, the priest consecrates the bread and the wine during the service. Pretty simple answer to your "question".

Holy wafer taste tests?

You're right. Not when 'God created himself then talked to himself a lot' could be made fun and ridiculed instead.

Does "Holy" have a distinct flavor?

How about Holy Water--Does it taste like water, or does it have a subtle kick like Grey Goose?
