>>225046311>the conversion of the entire substance of the bread into the substance of the Body of Christ, and of the entire substance of the wine into the substance of His Blood. This conversion takes place during the Eucharistic prayer, through the efficacy of the word of Christ and the action of the Holy Spirit. However, the perceptible characteristics of the bread and wine—that is, the "Eucharistic species"—remain unaltered.practically speaking, it is something symbolic.
>>225046377But it's not symbolic, Catholics believe the "substance" of the bread and wine really do transform into the "substance" of the flesh and blood of Christ. So what happens to that substance once its ingested?
>>225046444>the perceptible characteristics of the bread and wine—that is, the "Eucharistic species"—remain unalteredyeah but it's bread and wine
>>225046472But it has the "substance" of Christ, so logically when that bread and wine gets digested into poo, that poo also has the "substance" of Christ, that is if digestion doesn't destroy the "substance" of Christ.
>heh the eucharist isn't actually the body and blood of christmeanwhile the chad atheist: your religion and its sub-variants are a load of crap
>>225047125do you look like this?
>>225046299i thought france was an atheist country
>>225046539Its just a rite, like cleaning your shitting hole with an odd number of stones
>>225047320Catholics on twitter will call you a Protestant if you say the Eucharist is just symbolic
>>225047344Im a nazbol atheist
>>225047389Why do you speak of shit you don't know about then
>>225047344of course its symbolic, how could it be anything else? if someone thinks its real blood and flesh he's crazy
>>225046311Do they think its a plastic tablet that passes right through you? Seems odd they show the digestive system but not the process
>>225047471I grew up catholic
>>225046311>catholics believeWhat? Jesus literally said this in the bible. If you don't eat his bread and drink his wine you have no life in you. He is very explicit about it. So much so that most people thought he was fucking crazy and left him.Nowadays most people think it was a metaphor or someshit but believe shit like noahs ark was 100% literal kek
>>225046377>practically speaking, it is something symbolic.It isn't. Catholics being it gets transformed. It's called transubstantiation. The Eucharist being symbolic is a new thing that neo-Christians started believing in the last few 200 years or so. Even Luther, the king of the Protestants, thought it wasn't symbolic. The og Christians in the first few centuries didn't think it was symbolic. The orthodox church doesn't think it's symbolic. The Ethiopians don't think it's symbolic.It being symbolism is an Evangelical Baptist new world view.
>>225046299papist scum
>>225047475It's official church doctrine that the eucharist actually changes i to the body and blood of Christ, you would have been burned at the stake in Catholic countries in the past if you kept denying that.
>>225047475>if someone thinks its real blood and flesh he's crazyYou would have been one of the people who rejected Jesus during his time lol
>>225046299isn't France a very secular and anti-religious country?
>>225047880I had a fierce argument about it with my mother when we were watching the pope's speech yesterday on TV. She claimed that France is no longer a catholic country and that she has seen bigger crowds on a Massive Attack concert 20 years ago. (kek)
>>225046299Pretty funny that all the gendarmes are white. Here theyd be demanding 50% be BAME regardless of demand or skill
>>225047926>she has seen bigger crowds on a Massive Attack concert 20 years agokek maybe it's true, they talk about over 700,000 people lined up in the Champs-Élysées for Leo XIV's Mass
>>225047880Yes but they also have a big trad cath community
All zainichi Maronites
>>225047880Millennials are the least religious generation Not the youngest generation The implications are obvious
bump
>>225046299a french flag made almost the exact same thread were you right wing npc's told to all say the same thing on xelondia or what happened? you think previous popes never attracted crowds? lmao
