      worse, they're symbolically eating the flesh of god who is a man who is god but he isnt god, dont say he's god, but also dont say he's not god.

        The official teaching is that it is not symbolic. They claim to be quite actually eating the flesh of Christ. Communion is a summoning ritual.

            That is the name for what I'm describing, no? Transubstantiation is the summoning of Christ's blood and flesh by means of bread, wine and ritual. It's a fancy word for a specific type of summoning.

      I need answers, why aren't Doritos, America's national treat, worthy enough of transubstantiation? Someone get the pope on the line.
