I find this a fending i am catholic and who ever wrote this must be stupid Jesus is real. Its to bad the person who wrote this doesn't believe. We are not idiots. In fact i bet we are smarter then some people. The words that the priest says are holy. They do create flesh and blood. And they some times even turn in to flesh and blood in peoples mouths and in the plates. You are being rude to every one. You can come to a mass and see we are all welcoming. If you think some how a rock hit a other rock and created patterns on flowers and organs in people you must be crazy. There are organs in all living things. Even a simple atom is complex. Please think next time you see a flower how a rock created that. I want you to go out side and bang to rocks to gether then come back in and tell me how your universe is going.

A Catholic priest doesn’t put a “cracker” into a monstrance, say magic words, and turn it into flesh. Bread is consecrated at Mass. Some of this is kept in reserve in a tabernacle, and it is THIS bread which is on occasion placed into a monstrance for Eucharistic adoration.

Would it be more accurate, then, to say that a priest says magic words over a pile of crackers all at once to call his god into it and turn it into flesh, then stores it without refrigeration or spoilage indefinitely until it is time for some of the crackers to be worshipped, and other of the crackers to be consumed with wine?

And regarding transubstantiation – the belief that bread and wine can be transformed into the body and blood of Christ while still appearing as bread and wine – you ridicule this greatly, but no doubt have respect for modern science. From quantum mechanics, we now know that appearances observed in our everyday life are simply shadows of the hidden realities of substances. Sound familiar? Matter not being in essence what it is in substance?

So, Catholics don’t believe in evolution (you can’t, if you believe the Bible), but believe in quantum mechanics? Interesting. Could you show me where the Pope announced this doctrine?

If you’re going to bash a religion, at least get your facts straight. A Catholic priest doesn’t put a “cracker” into a monstrance, say magic words, and turn it into flesh. Bread is consecrated at Mass. Some of this is kept in reserve in a tabernacle, and it is THIS bread which is on occasion placed into a monstrance for Eucharistic adoration.

The so-called appearances of the Virgin Mary in bizarre things like tortillas, etc. are not recognized by the Church, yet you imply that the Church regards these as being genuine.

I could care less what you “believe”, but your childish, deprecating rant is every bit as ignorant as those things which you are calling ignorant. Pelosi was taken to task over her adherence to Catholic teaching and doctrine. The Church has every right to define these and to expect members to follow them. Most religions don’t let members pick and choose which teachings you’ll follow, any more than the state permits people to pick and choose which rules of the road they follow when they drive.

And regarding transubstantiation – the belief that bread and wine can be transformed into the body and blood of Christ while still appearing as bread and wine – you ridicule this greatly, but no doubt have respect for modern science. From quantum mechanics, we now know that appearances observed in our everyday life are simply shadows of the hidden realities of substances. Sound familiar?
