Well, I cant speak for warmdecember but I find the ritual cannibalism of transubstantiation to be on the list.

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.
"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."

The RCC maintains that the cracker is not just a cracker...that after the magic spell is cast..it's not even a cracker.

Quote:The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation (CCC, 1376).

The manner of it's transformation may be "not fully understood".... yet another mystery of the Not-A-Mystery-Cult™...but the fact of it's transformation is settled.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

IOWs, if it smells like cannibalism, feels like cannibalism, and tastes like cannibalism . . .








IT IS CANNIBALISM
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Never knew the flesh of our lord is made of such dry crumbly stuff. It’s like he died and got mummified or something.

You are being disingenuous.

As a former catholic, it IS ritual cannibalism.  Trying to pretend it isn't is dishonest.

It’s worth absolutely nothing that you would consider what you believe to be the eating of human flesh to not be cannibalism.   The meaning of cannibalism is defined by the dictionary, not your doctrine nor personal cognitive dissonance.
