But it puts me among those Christians still rational enough to know bread is still bread and wine is still wine no matter what encantation you say over it, nor to be hoodwinked into believing bells and whistles can add to or detract from The Gospel.
So, as they would say in a legal context, what you think doesn't really matter because you "lack standing'.
I also lack standing among wiccans, moon-worshipers and the other pagans.
There must be some fascination for you otherwise you wouldn't spend so much time tugging the nose hairs of Catholics. The paradox you face is that, for you, since you don't believe, the bread is still bread and the wine is still wine, but for those who believe it is the resurrected body and blood of Christ that was given up for us. It is part of a new and everlasting covenant, one not subject to revision by those seeking expanded divorce privileges, or seeking to form a political and economic counter balance to other European countries.
There is even a secular beauty in the Communion celebration for people like you to appreciate. Like a continuous line of dominoes that have been falling for nearly 2,000 years when we (Catholics) participate in the Eucharist we are touched by a continuous string of events set in motion by Christ himself at the Last Supper.
