[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We get Kings Hawaiian bread. [/quote]

We do too. No complaints.  They give kids a bigger chunk.  They are happy. [/quote]

Different bread at our church but our new pastor also gives the kids an extra big chunk. They love that.

[b]The bread is not literally the body of Christ. [/b]Communion is sharing bread together as a community,. The community is the metaphorical "body of Christ"[/quote]

You must not be Catholic. [/quote]

NP. PP is correct that the communion wafer is not literally the body of Christ. [/quote]

Denominations differ on this issue. But Catholic teaching unquestionably is that the Eucharist is the body and blood, soul and divinity, of Jesus, God Himself, under the appearance of bread (and wine) but having none of the substance of bread (or wine). The Catholic Church believes in transubstantiation, an entire change in substance, and rejects consubstantiation (it is both at the same time), “spiritual” presence, and “mere symbolism.”  The Orthodox likewise believe in the “real presence” but unlike the Roman Church, do not seek to specifically define how it occurs.

If this poster claims to be Catholic they need to go back to Catechism.

Sure, but like…as adults, we all understand that it’s a wafer that the parish bought wholesale somewhere and then said a prayer over. We understand that it is not literally a piece of Jesus’ body that we are consuming.[/quote]
