I still don’t understand the concept of the Eucharist

Bread and wine

Like when you eat it?

are transubstantiated into the true body and blood of christ

You sound like Biden rn

trans means cross and substance is an aristotelian term

idk if you're familiar with aristotles metaphysics

Not making fun of you but that word sounds like something Biden would say

> idk if you're familiar with aristotles metaphysics
@Drift no I am not

Ok

no problems

so we can explain it this way

it is veiled as bread but truly Christ himself in substance

Biden is supposedly Catholic, so he would say that word <:YouKnowTheThing:723005092764319776>

Lmao

Biden can claim to be Catholic but he is as much as mitt romney claims to be republican

> it is veiled as bread but truly Christ himself in substance
@Drift in my church we eat bread and drink wine every Easter, but in remembrance not to feel him physically

@KermitTheFrog yea for us it's not symbolic

and we believe it's quite literally at the heart of why christ became man

It's called the source and center of the catholic faith for a reason

Because it brings us into true communion with Christ and His Church in a more perfect way

The thing is I don’t believe that drinking bread and eating wine helps me connect with him

It isn't bread and wine

It IS Christ

Bruh wtf is my grammar

It becomes the Body and blood of Christ

“Drinking bread”

Have you ever heard of the Buenos Aires Miracle?

(among others)

“Eating whine”

I prefer scott hahn to discussing miracles

No I have not but before all that can I say my point of view? You guys are not letting me talk u going to fast for me I am on a phone

Ok so, in my church the connection with god is more a spiritual one than a physical one, and I can say I personally have felt it

Second thing:

The church for my parents left them feeling empty and feeling that as long as they did what they where told they would go to heaven.

Without seeking him

@KermitTheFrog
Why?

1. We haven't said we dont have a spiritual relationship with God
2. Feelings arent the same as faith, but feelings are important too

@ElCalafate They didn’t learn everything from them

Anything*
