The Eucharist (Part 1)-Response to Russell's article



File:McVey wide skyscraper.jpg


Hi Russell,

You asked me to have a look at your articles and I accepted.  Here's my response. Russell's words in blue.


Introduction
Today we will do something different and take on a new topic, namely the Lord’s Supper, from a Catholic point of view. 
Most Protestants that I know view the Lord’s Supper (or Communion) as a solemn ritual, a symbolic yet profound commemoration, or reminder, of the saving work that Jesus Christ did on the cross.


Question:  I have met Protestants who believe in the REAL SPIRITUAL PRESENCE of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.  In fact, I believe that is the most popular Protestant stance on this doctrine.  See this Wikipedia article.

Where do you stand in that regard?
