I am Lutheran and believe that the communion is the Body and Blood of Christ, when it is consecrated by my (Lutheran) pastor.  The process of it changing from bread/wine to body/blood is called consubstantiation, meaning the physical elements are present with the body and blood.

Despite this belief, the RCC takes the view that I am not entitled to receive communion, because I am not a practicing Catholic. [/quote]

Actually I'd say it is BECAUSE of this belief that you are denied communion by the Roman Catholic church.   They believe in TRANsubstantiation not CONsubstantiation.  Consubstantiation  is heretical!

Yes, I know.  As a cradle Catholic, I know.  Consubstantiation, transubstantiation, the effect is the same.

You know that part of the Mass where they say, "Lord I am not worthy to receive you..."?  That was added AFTER the Reformation - to remind Catholics that THIS and not THAT is the real thing.   :roll:
