A recent Pew report found that 69% of all Catholics do NOT believe that the Eucharist at mass is the true body and blood of Christ (transubstantiation)...which is not in alignment with the teaching of the Catholic Church. It truly is a shocking statistic.
So it's "truly shocking" to this idiot's small brain that a fucking cracker is just a fucking cracker? It's truly shocking that it's not magic?
This is why humanity is missing nice things.
What’s truly shocking is that a whopping 31% continue to believe it.

I don't think that the 31% really do, rather, I think that they are just paying lip service to the whole idea. Back in the Day, when the Church would burn people alive for having "desecrated" the so-called "Body of Christ," that's when they really believed in it. The only reason that the Catholic Church has influence now is because it had influence then; the whole enterprise has run out of gas and is just coasting to complete irrelevance.
