No, you don't understand how the Eucharist works. The accidents (or appearance) of the bread stays the same, but the substance is truly and actually Our Lord. With Eucharistic miracles however, both the accidents and substance change.

The Lord said the bread is His body and the wine is His blood.

So says the word of God.

I don't need a miracle to believe that which comes from the lips of the True God.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

I'm a Christian though not a Catholic.

I don't understand where the pseudo-religious gobbledegook is coming from when it's all laid out plainly in scripture.

Especially since it was Jesus who took bread and symbolically called it His flesh and the cup and said it was symbolically His blood.

Communion was established by Jesus for connection to Him with his disciples.

Why would God or Jesus spontaneously decide in later centuries to put actual flesh or actual blood in the Communion when Jesus DID NOT in the first place?

When the Old Testament makes it abundently clear that the congregation [whether Israel or the Church] is strictly forbidden to drink actual blood.

Doesn't sound like a miracle. It sounds like a HOAX or worse A DEMONIC PRANK set to deceive the faithful.

I sincerely hope that no clergy is participating in such nonsensical foolishness lest they damn themselves and their flocks.

Flame me if you like for my disputation.

Still love y'all.
