Fifty per cent of US Catholics believe the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. The other half think it is symbolic.

The Roman Catholics ask: How could this happen?

My comment:
The Roman Catholic Church stand and falls on its two core doctrines.
1. The Petrine theology of the pope being the successor of St. Peter, and the Vicarius Christi. (Vicar of Christ)
2. The doctrine of transubstantiation, the idea that God (the Messiah) becomes physically available in the Communion bread in the alter.
I understand that the RCC are surprised that half of the American Catholics take the protestant view on doctrine number 2.
The reason is World Media Mission, and the global reach out to Catholics with the true Gospel. I rejoice with the 50 per cent that now knows the truth. And because, when doctrine 2 fall apart, doctrine 1 also falls. The Pope is not the representative of God of the Bible, but rather a deceiver of the flock. Just as Martin Luther and the other church reformers claimed.
I thank Jesus the Messiah for revealing truth to all these Americans. May He continue to protect them from all kinds of deceptions, take them out of the religious strongholds of the Vatican, and save them, Amen.

Praise God that the “wool” veil is being taken off the eyes of the sheep.
Praise God that vatican head is being rattled.
Praise God that His eternal kingdom of righteousness, real righteousness, real peace and real joy in and of the Holy Ghost – who is the Spirit of grace and the Spirit of truth, and which will manifest in the holy power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost for the glory of God ALONE, WILL FILL all the earth.
Come out of her, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people.
Dear Icmcd.
Shalom and praise Jesus. Thanks for this comment. May Jesus of the bible bless you.
Jesus once said, “Unless you eat my body and drink my blood, there is no life in you” John, 6:53
Is it a sin to take the above verse literally as a child? Then what matters?
Dear Oldman.
Shalom and love in Jesus.
Welome back. To eat Jesus will be an act of canabalism. If true, the apostles should have found an axe and cut the mody of the Messiah into eatable pieces. To eat his flesh (body) is to participate in his life and Words. To do His will.
