cannibalism and you (christianity)

RE: cannibalism and you (christianity)
The option of being burned at the stake for doubting Aristotle helps a lot with the understanding.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Both Justin Martyr, c 160 and Origen c 250, defended against this charge of "cannibalism."  They would not have been defending against a charge which was not being made.

Great. Now all I got in my head is crackers turning into dicks as the priest sticks it in.

I think governmental Health and Safety departments should look into this "trans-substantiation" thing.
Feeding the general public 2000 years old human flesh, presumably raw, at room temperature, with bare hands and no sanitation - that can't be compliant with food hygiene standards.

Hey, if you're hungry enough.

I must admit, even as a kid I found the concept disturbing in Catholicism.

..........WHY ON EARTH DO YOU THINK EATING THE FLESH.. *ahem* flesh and drinking the blood of your savior is a good idea.
I mean we can know cannibalism is wrong even metaphorical cannibalism should be frowned upon as well.

The body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus are substantially present in the Eucharist, but the accidents of bread and wine remain.

That article basically splits hairs to define around cannibalism as a violent act.

Assuming that baby died of natural causes (IE you didn't kill it) and you eat the whole thing, it's apparently not considered cannibalism.

Quote:1. In cannibalism, the person consumed is, generally speaking, killed. Jesus is not killed. We receive him in his resurrected body and we do not affect him in the least. In fact, he is not changed in the slightest. He changes us! This is far from cannibalism.
2. In cannibalism, only part of the victim is consumed. One does not eat the bones, sinews, etc. In the Eucharist, we consume every bit of the Lord, eyes, hair, blood, bones, etc. But again, I emphasize that we do so under the appearances of bread and wine. This is essentially different than cannibalism, which leads to our next point:
3. In cannibalism, the accidents of blood and flesh are consumed. One must tear flesh, drink blood, etc. In the Eucharist, we only consume the accidents of bread and wine. This is not cannibalism.
4. In cannibalism, one only consumes a body, not a person. The person and the soul of the victim would have departed. In the Eucharist, we consume the entire person of Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul and divinity. One cannot separate Christ’s body from his Divine Person. Thus, this is a spiritual communion as well as a physical consuming. We become one with Christ on a mystical level in this sacrament. This is far from cannibalism.
5. In cannibalism, one only receives temporal nourishment that is fleeting. In the Eucharist, we receive the divine life of God through faith and receiving our Lord well-disposed, i.e. we receive everlasting life (cf. John 6:52-55). This is essentially different than cannibalism.
6. In cannibalism, once one eats the flesh of the victim, it is gone forever. In the Eucharist, we can consume him every day and, as mentioned in #1, we do not change him one bit. He remains the same.
