Re: Question for Catholics about the eucharist

Yes. It was helpful for me to understand your position. However, I believe that your interpretation may be in error because of the passages I already quoted and the fact that you take the Bible literally.

Yes, we do read the Bible literally. For example, we take it literally when it tells us that Jesus spoke using parables.

Do you know how many times the Bible mentions the word "parable?" 64 times, 45 out of which appear in the New Testament, and guess what - out of these 45 instances, all are describing Jesus speaking in parables.

I mean, what sort of a sick human would actually want to imagine that he or she is literally devouring meat and fluid from a dead human body? Do you people actually enjoy being wannabe cannibals?!? Eww!

Matthew 28:20 Be sure of this. I am with you always even unto the end of the world.
I don't see how the Last Supper could be a one time event if Jesus said to Do this in memory of Me? The Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches have the apostolic succession. Jesus is with His Church until the end of time.

..er ..because it was the last one?

I always wondered, if the meat of Jesus has to be eaten by everyone, why did not him multiply it like the fish?
Or why wasn't his body kept like Walt Disney's?
Or like we did with the brain of our beloved leader Lenin?


All questions, I have no answers.

Eww! I also wonder about Catholics, do they also imagine which specific body parts they are ingesting? I mean, if the bread has literally turned into Christ's body, then who gets to eat the fingers? The intestines? The eyes? Or the divine version of Rocky Mountain oysters?
