Catholics don't practice ritual cannibalism, they practice ritual metaphorical cannibalism. They only symbolically consume the body and blood of Christ.Not to hear them tell it. The Catholic doctrine is that it's Jesus' actual, biological body come down from Heaven to replace the bread and wine, even though you can't notice it.
They're wrong, of course.

Agree that some probably believe this, but I'd guess most "first world" Catholics don't.
I don't think most Catholics, metaphorical cannibals or "real", would agree to a test, though.
