But obviously we don't believe it physically becomes skin and blood, since it is still bread and wine when we consume it. It is still in the form of bread and wine, but Jesus is physically present. I'd say that's the best way to describe it.
The Catechism says differently, though. It specifically states that the substance of the wafer becomes the substance of Christ's body. It is very clear on this matter.
Do you reject this part of the Catechism, then?
But they are still in the physical shape of bread and wine, that's what I'm saying.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
