Unless you are Lutheran. In which case they believe Jesus has "real presence" during communion.
Jesus said it, so it must literally be true, "is means is".
this can't be right. I was raised catholic and I have the word "transubstantiation" burnt into my brain. It means that the cracker and wine have actually become the flesh and blood. So no, it's not symbolic for christians either
Are they aware of the risk that Jesus‘ flesh could cause prion diseases?
Well, it’s not symbolic for Catholics.
Plenty of other denominations look at you a little funny when you insist transubstantiation happens (and I’m pretty sure whoever started thst doctrine made the word up.)
It was pretty obvious symbolic and metaphorical.
Yep, I remember struggling to learn to pronounce transubstantiation when I was 7 and in speech therapy because I was struggling to pronounce anything correctly. So I was just forced to practice it over and over and over again.
Also Roman Catholic. I was raised that it wasn't symbolic, but actually transformed into his real flesh and blood. 🤮
