Especially since it very obviously does not physically turn into flesh and blood. Any priest with half an eye would see that. It’s reconciling it with what transubstantiation is supposed to do in doctrine that’s the hard part.
Well the doctrine specifies the whole no outward characteristics changing part so it’s just a contradiction, but faith and logic are mutually exclusive.
I don’t understand why anybody does communion or baptism or any of it. I mean, I do because it’s all bonding and stuff, but if you look at the religion on paper, all you need to do is accept Jesus and you’re saved. You don’t even have to go to church!
Yeah I think that’s one of the evangelical branches that play that shit which frankly explains a lot. Ironically most christian denominations think catholics are heretics and idolators, again due to totally reasonable misunderstandings about Mary, the saints, and the whole trinity shenanigan, even though catholics are like the OG J-dude acolytes. It’s all pretty interesting in an academic sense but jobs of horrifying these beliefs are dictating government policy.

That depends on the denomination, like that doesn’t fly in catholicism.
I forgot that different denominations have diffident requirements. I always thought it was pretty sketchy having the barrier to entry be that low.
