Real presence of Christ in the Eucharist


(continued from
Lutero:

Nothing in that says literal or physical. Substantial does not necessarily mean a substance at all. I hope you substantially understand what I am getting at.

My own church believes in the true spritual presence of Christ at the Lords Supper.

Why dont you read these things before you offer them?

You've said that before. I'll let the reader decide whether you are being honest with yourself. Because I see it there stated EXPLICITLY.

1413 By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about. Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner:his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity (cf. Council of Trent: DS 1640; 1651).
