For what it is worth, we certainly don't consider communion to be cannibalism. And we oppose cannibalism.
It is true that we believe Jesus is physically present in the eucharist in a way that is not fully understood (hence why we refer to this as a great mystery). But it is, nonetheless, in the form of a wafer or bread... not raw human meat.
Thanks for answering, though.
As a former catholic, it IS ritual cannibalism. Trying to pretend it isn't is dishonest.
