I mean really the Catholics with the simulated blood guzzling and flesh eating rituals should just STFU.
It's grape juice and crackers, calm down.
The Catholics genuinely believe it's the body and blood of Christ after the priest does his ritual. I went to a Catholic school and can confirm this.
The Catholics generally accept that Transubstantiation is a thing they're supposed to believe in.
If you hold up a cracker to an actual practicing Catholic and you demand to see proof that the bread is now human flesh, they'll just shrug at you and say "You don't get it, man". It's Woo-Woo. We all know it's Woo-Woo. The fact that the Papacy refused to acknowledge a ritualized metaphor for what it is doesn't obligate the rest of the congregation to be more than flippantly obtuse.
Lol you are institutionalizing the hypocrisy
I'm not sure you understand what either of those words mean.
Go have a cracker and Welch's grape and ruminate on it. Or, genuflect if you prefer.
I'm being told by Lemmy that this makes me a cannibal
Gotta love it. Today a worthless AI attendant would add digits I never said to my BCBS id number. We're doomed!
