Where does the concept of Christ come from?
And eating bread and water is cannibalism? Are you saying you actually believe that?
The "concept" of Christ?
Uhmmm, Christ was a person, not a "concept".
And what does your question have to do with Christians making up 85% of the right-wing, and practicing cannibalism?
What I believe about it is not relevant.
Christians absolutely believe in transubstantiation. It's part of the mass ritual, FFS.
If they believe it is actually happening like they are supposed to, then it's cannibalism when they partake in Holy Communion.
Transubstantiation (
Latin:
transubstantiatio;
Greek: μετουσίωσις
metousiosis) is, according to the teaching of the
Catholic Church, "the change of the whole substance of bread into the substance of the
Body of Christ and of the whole substance of wine into the substance of the
Blood of Christ".
[1][2] This change is brought about in the
eucharistic prayer through the efficacy of the word of Christ and by the action of the
Holy Spirit.
[3] However, "the outward characteristics of bread and wine, that is the 'eucharistic species', remain unaltered".
[1] In this teaching, the notions of "substance" and "transubstantiation" are not linked with any particular theory of
metaphysics.
[4][5]
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that, in the Eucharistic offering, bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ.
[6] The affirmation of this doctrine on the
real presence of Christ in the Eucharist was expressed, using the word "transubstantiate", by the
Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215.
[7][8] It was later challenged by various 14th-century reformers,
John Wycliffe in particular.
[9]
The manner in which the change occurs, the Roman Catholic Church teaches, is a mystery: "The signs of bread and wine become, in a way surpassing understanding, the Body and Blood of Christ."
