I am ...Thanks so much Kyle for this great resource! I am Catholic and I was troubled about this matter as I pondered the Lanciano Miracle and other Eucharistic Miracles eg Naju. These miracles only make sense if you believe that the bread is the actual flesh and the wine the blood. But I felt something was wrong...a slice of heart muscle and some blood is not the full presence of Jesus. Then there is the issue of what if someone would clone Jesus using that. I was also disturbed by the fact that once Transubtantiation became dogma it led to blood libels against the Jews. Can you share with me what happened to the Church after the apostles. From Abraham to the Apostles..it was all Jewish. Then the Church turned European. God eating...is not Jewish...God eating eg Osiris, Dionysius however is not alien to European minds. So far we have tracked to Ignatius of Antioch and as you pointed out...when he talks about the bread = flesh it is not the same as him saying...I was taught by St John that bread = flesh. It could be an innocent misunderstanding. Basically my beliefs are v much similar to yours now...there is power in the Eucharist...and there is even Presence...but its not from what I think now because of transubstantiation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1158607164395632462006-09-18T15:19:00.000-04:002006-09-18T15:19:00.000-04:00Kyle, Thanks for this resource.
